Top iPhone Apps That Take Notes — Update as of February 9, 2009
Here are the top iPhone Apps that can be used for note taking. Not all of these apps are specifically designed as note taking apps per se. Some are task managers, list managers, voice recorders, and databases. They are all on the list, however, because they are used by people who want to jot things down on their iPhone and remember them. We have categorized the apps below into the various types, and we have provided separate rankings from Free apps and Paid apps from the Apple iTunes App Store. The rankings are the standing as of February 9, 2009, in the Productivity section Top 100 Applications.
