Do you mean notes as in the stand a long notepad or the notes that are part of the contact info that Office has? I know the notes works fine from the Office address book, but have never found a need to use the stand a lone notes other than on the palm to get a handwritten signature to sign an electronic document.

You all just need to give in and get a BlackBerry. Thats the phone that truly rocks.

I love the size of iPhones as well as the browser... best mobile browser period. BUT, there are a lot of very basic things they do not have, cut and paste being one that is just ridiculous. Also, no stereo bluetooth, no user replaceable battery, etc. I just don't like it. Plus, I'm more of a business oriented user than entertainment anyway, so the BlackBerry fits my needs better. Plus, they're working on a touchscreen BlackBerry that should be out around the Holidays I think. Should be sweet! In the meantime, I'll be picking up a Curve 8330 hopefully.

I can use an app that syncs notes..I have tons on my old treo thati would like to move over

I think I get you guys, the notes is the note program that is on the Palm, I have an old Palm Pilot III and I recall the notes program from there. It's different than the notes outlook uses.

I got some sad news, I have to buy a Mac if I want to develop iPhone apps which I intended on doing. I assumed it would be like a Palm where you have platform independent development tools, but it's Mac OSX only.

I disagree.. it is not sad news, you will see the light and wonder how you ever actually worked on anything else... trust me

I'm surprised you were surprised. Apple is proprietary on EVERYthing. Its how Jobs rolls. Its also why PCs outsell the CRAP out of Macs. Don't get me wrong, Macs are great, but generally watered down (which can be a good thing for some people) and overpriced. We use them in the studio and they're used almost exclusively throughout most of the creative industries, but good grief... as a college student, I can't afford them! Especially when I can get a PC variant of what is now the exact same thing for $1000 cheaper.

yeah the inital cost is higher, but ROI is better as you don't have to retire them as soon as pc - in my experence. Pay now or pay me later

Mac is now basically unix with a pretty gui. I have been using macs since the IIC days. And I have my old 7500 still running as a music server, that machine is 13 years old I think.

Ahh, who am I kidding? Im just jealus. Ha! Congrats!

Are there any you can recommend. I have a Windows Mobile device, although outdated, but will be getting another one soon :-)

Makes sense, man.

I've got friends who use their 15 year old PCs for music servers as well.

Along this same line, does anyone know if there are any dive programs for BlackBerrys?
