I have found these two features valuable ;) I tried now for some time a pure digital way. However, at least for me that fails for two many reasons. Thus, I'm looking to strike a balance between both ways trying to grep the best from both sides. Please let me add that in my personal opinion a iphone is not really a big help. A device without keyboard is a real pain for note-taking. I tried it with a keyboard based PDA. But even the simple task to move it out of my bag, switch it on, move to the right buffer (I even used emacs + org-mode natively), add the note, switch it off, and put it back in the bag, was something which prevents me to use the PDA for smaller note taking tasks. I guess a keyboard free system which requires you to carefully type letter for letter on a silkscreen is even a more worse note-taking stopper. However, this is only my opinion Thanks for sharing your thoughts Best regards Torsten
