I installed MobileOrg on an HTC desire. The idea was to just use it to
take notes, no sync to an emacs with org-mode would be needed.
But I can't figure out how to skip the sync configuration menu.
All of the documentation I find when searching, is about syncing with
org-mode.
Isn't it possible to use MobileOrg without sync?
Thanks!

Not sure, but MobileOrg (at least on Android) is not very sophisticated
for note taking. For sure, it's not a stand-alone org-mode for Android
as you might have expected.
For example, there's no widget ("activity" in andro-speak) to input
timestamps and stuff like that. I use it, but mainly for viewing my
agendas pushed from org-mode and for capturing quick and ugly notes,
which I format correctly, timestamp, tag, and refile after pulling them
to my emacs.
So I see no reason to use MobileOrg if you don't want to interact with
org-mode. Probably, you'd be better off with a plain text editor (Jota
Text Editor is quite good and free software).
Bye,

Ah, ok. It looked like it might be, from the screen shots.

Ok. Looks like something I will try at some point in time, but not
right now.

What's the point of MobileOrg then? There are dozens of note-taking
apps for Android that do a better job than MobileOrg for note taking.
Personally I use Epistle, which syncs with Dropbox, yielding plain-
text files on my desktop that I can access from Emacs.

Also a good candidate:
