Thanks for the detailed explanation of your use of Evernote and your iPhone. It is really helping me to not only try a new note-taking app, but also to think more about what I need that app to be able to do. I definitely need two-way syncing, and I think I'll have to edit the post to reflect that. I bought <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=300314905&mt=8" rel="nofollow">gNotes</a> because it promised two-way syncing and I already use Google Notebook pretty extensively (thanks to a <a href="http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/36028" rel="nofollow">UserScript</a> that allows me access to it below my inbox in Gmail), but I was greatly disappointed to find that it only syncs one-way, and only one time at that. I've filed a complaint, but no response, and I'm pretty upset. At least the app wasn't more expensive. I also tried Things because of you, and I'm very happy! At first I was confused, but I guess that was the learning curve. I really like it now, and I'm planning on writing a post about it soon. @Alex: All I can say is “Wow, man.” Thanks for the detailed explanation of your use of Evernote and your iPhone.

I'm still mad about it. The app is called CopierciN. Also I'm guessing the reason your autocorrect is turned off in MagicPad is because a large number of users DON'T LIKE the auto-correct. It's the best auto correct I've ever used, but for some reason there's just tons of people that hate it. So having that turned off is considered a 'feature' to some. Most apps I've seen let you decide if you want it or not. @xgravity23 – I know you didn’t say that, I was just providing unecessary background I guess. I’m still mad about it.

For me, I'd guess about half of my (currently) 506 notes were hand input from a computer keyboard, another 45% were clipped from web pages using the super awesome clipper key shortcut, and only the remaining 5% were text input or photo snapshots from my iPhone. While the iPhone does give me ubiquitous capture, I just don't need to take note-type things very often in places where I don't already have a laptop. Instead, what Evernote on the iPhone gives me is random-access mobility. My department head can call me into his office, ask about what was said in a conference call a month ago, and I can call it up using tag- and text-based searches in moments without leaving the room. What I do absolutely need iPhone read/write for are my to-do items. For that, I used OmniFocus since beta and have just switched to using Things. Both are excellent, excellent solutions, but in the past month Things has really pulled ahead in just about every important respect. I mention them simply because Evernote also makes a fine GTD platform (which I tried for a while, but it just isn't up to snuff with tools crafted specifically for that job).
