time.
I dial the phone number, say Add and voice my message. It records my

I have started using my iphone this way. I use the Unote (younote?)
application to basically jot down random thoughts. I have a lot of these
while driving for some reason, and if I don't write them down they
evaporate. The key advantage of the iphone is that I always have it with
me, unlike a
On that same note - does anyone email themselves notes to GooToDo? They have

Evernote has a great iPhone app that lets you sync text, photo and
voice notes with the desktop and web editions of Evernote.
The only thing I miss from evernote is the ability to take a photo
and draw notes on the photo.

Will,
I use a combination of delicious, evernote, and Moleskin notebooks. There's
nothing formal or disciplined about it; and I've only really started doing
it consistently in the past couple of years.

I would make mention of two points by way of requirements for such a system:
* it should be as immediate as flipping open a sketchbook; or that should at

etc
* it should replicate down to my local machine a la MobileMe.
Looks like we are tribe-sourcing a requirements document, doesn't it :-)
