For mobile devices, you can use MobileOrg on iOS or Android. Also, on
most Android tablets, you can use Emacs[1] itself.
For MS Windows, you can install Emacs normally, or, if you're
concerned about using your Org-Mode notes on other peoples' computers,
you may want to try Portable Emacs[2] on a USB flash drive.
You can also, in a pinch, use any other text editor (that is smart
enough to handle cross-platform line endings), though, of course,
you'll lose the folding and highlighting features that make org-mode
files easy to navigate.

You can use top-level headlines for this, and always fold headlines
that you're not looking at. Some other people have also metioned
tags. The agenda and sparse trees are other ways org-mode offers of
looking at subsets of your data.

You can use hyperlinks in org-mode to link to things basically
anywhere (on the web, on your hard drive, etc.), but if you want
something like Evernote, you *probably* want to read the org info node
on "Attachments".
Hope this helps!
