23 Mobile Things-Thing 5 Notetaking

I just took a look at Remember the Milk. I recalled this from on of the other Things on a Stick.  At first glance, I prefer AnyList for shopping, and I put my to do kinds of things on my calendar.
I have and use Dragon Dictation. It's amazingly accurate.  In fact, I'm wondering why I'm not using it now as I type on an iPad. I had the old software that you had to read substantial passages into so it could recognize your voice.
This may fit another Thing better, but I've been trying to use Evernote to keep track of websites and sometimes notes. It's all about choosing an app and becoming familiar enough with it to make it truly useful.
Bamboo Paper could be useful for taking notes and saving them with out a bunch of paper collecting in piles or disarray...I speak from experience. I might use notes on the iPad or documents on a laptop before I would use this, but I think it's neat that you can take notes or quickly draw a diagram or picture like you would on a piece of paper...without all those papers floating around.  They are then portable, sharable, and printable, so that could be nice.  I've thought that younger students who may not have keyboarding skills could use this to practice spelling, math, or create stories and books.

I love the idea of using Bamboo paper as a early literacy training tool!
