Writing on the Road- an examination of note taking apps

I do a lot of writing on the road, in fact, I never write in an office, per se.  Even when home I write on the go.  I get inspiration, opportunity, and gratification from this style. Coupled with a photography flirtation to make the blog a little bit visual, and the result is, my workflow is less than static.

Writing is important to me.  Since very early in grammar school I wrote to sort out thinking, and to express myself.  Not talented, I keep working at it.  And learning.

Right now, I use four apps that improve utility.  To me that means they work, without being more complex than necessary.  An example of the latter is Word.  I have never been able to learn or use most of it's power.  In fact, it has done little for me over the years that Text Edit doesn't do as well.  Exceptions are bids and forms.  But this is not about every writing need I have, it is about those I use as I travel, those I use most.

I have been posting separate examinations of Evernote, SimpleNote, DraftPad, my tools.  I like each of them for different reasons, and am discovering how to use them as a complimentary suite of tools.  There is little doubt that one of them will be deleted, but judgement will be withheld until after I use them on an iPad.
