		<description>Hey Amy K, can I ask what specifically you like about dbelement&#039;s noter2?

On your suggestion, I checked it out.  I took a look at the free version of the iphone app and the web/desktop version and ended up pretty dissapointed in both. 

The design and interaction does not follow typical iphone interaction convention or styles, and the free iphone version is ad-supported in a way which hampers use. 

I came across a few usability issues such as when creating a new note, you have to tap into the note to fill in the title instead of that happening automatically. The advertisement actually covers up the function keys, resulting in loss of data when I accidentally hit it instead of &#039;save&#039; (the app quit before saving and launched the app-store). That left me annoyed enough I would never pay for the full version.  

There is no way to reuse completed items, so you can&#039;t use this as a grocery list unless you like retyping every note.

The desktop version seems more like an afterthought than an integrated system that takes advantage of the affordances of a larger screen and full keyboard.  Things like; return key submits the note, cursor focus moves into the new note title field, drag and drop notes at any time (instead of modal).  It seems very much like it is just the iphone app directly ported over, interaction by interaction.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m surprised Noter2 isn&#039;t on your guys&#039; list.  I&#039;ve been using it for a few months now and the best part for me is that it&#039;s easy.  It&#039;s simple and it syncs perfectly with my computer.  http://dbelement.com/apps/noter2</description>
