There seems to be a selection of note apps for the Pre. I'm going to
have to look at some of them, I guess. I love EN, where it works. The
idea of having whole web pages stored is handy for a paper-less kind of
guy wanting to save the "print this receipt for your records" page from
online orders, then have that page available on both my computers or
wherever I can get online access from any machine. I like - when I have
Internet access - the ability to write a column on the Pre - but without
Internet access, I can't work with stuff already written. A couple of
times I've tried writing a new note, hoping it would upload when I had
access. I've ended up losing the data.
OTOH, I have written columns and news stories on the Pre (the
keyboard is not the best, but it can be done) in EN, then sat at a
desktop/laptop and prepped the material for upload or, from the Pre,
emailed it to my editor.
Not having the past 10 years of my calendar in the Pre is not a
big deal. It was handy sometimes, when I used Treos and earlier Palm
devices, but mostly I don't even know I don't have it. And when I get to
a fixed machine, there it is, so I can live with that.
But not having those notes is a real pain, especially given the
memory available for storage on today's smartphones.
Then there's another, related problem Levi touched on -
development. Watch the advertising and new apps are for iPhone or
Android. I've never seen an ad on TV for a Pre app. And it's not an
oversight, or a calculation that the Pre audience is too small to spend
the money. Check the app catalog and the app that grabbed my interest is
not there.
But then, the Pre is a couple years old and it's still the same old
Pre. Nothing new to brag about. No brag, no advertising, no customers
buying it, no customers for new apps - I don't blame EN for not putting
out the effort to develop for Pre. I blame Pre, and it could have a
bearing on whether I'm a Pre or Android user when it's time for upgrade.

If brute force isn't working, you're not using enough of it.
