Dear note-taking.net team,
My name is Anton Molokoedov. Our team is working on a product called MobileNoter. This is an iPhone application that syncs its data with OneNote.
First of all, I want to say thanks for your portal. It’s really very informative and I think it’s the best place to find a note-taking app which is suitable for you.
We are developing application that allows OneNote to access their data on iPhone/iTouch device. This is anticipated application by many and there is no alternative to it currently.
Application is young and we still have long todo list, but it is already very helpful for every OneNote user who have iPhone.
We would be glad to offer you free license or subscription to MobileNoter (there are two editions, that are distributed by different model). So, it would be fantastic if you review it and probably write some info on your web site or mention it to others when they ask for iPhone OneNote client.
More info about the application can be found on our web site: http://www.mobilenoter.com
Feel free to contact us via e-mail.

Question for you… are there any iphone/ipod touch apps that have auto-save features? I’m aiming for a periodic auto-save feature that I can customize (every 5 seconds, every 20, etc), for a note-taking app.
I appreciate your recommendation!
