@dan, thanks for the input on syncing. I received a newsletter from Evernote recently, and it sounds like they do have a lot more going.

I think I might take another look and reevaluate my choices (yup, again).

The thing about syncing is that you can't predict when you'll need it. So you can use journier for years, and then syncing becomes important, and you're screwed.

Not to mention the developer of journier has said he might stop development.

Evernote has too much going for it. Journier simply can't compete.

You know, it's funny you mention that now, @mark. Since I'm using my laptop as my primary computer now, the synching really isn't that important to me anymore.

I may have to reevaluate a few of the others now.

Syncing across services is the only thing evernote has going for it. It’s simply not in the class of the other applications you mentioned.

Steve, what a cheery smile in your avatar there! I was searching for PIM stuff because I'm enjoying my new Mac Pro and need better ways to make sense of my life.

Thanx for sharing your findings, I've heard of Evernote and some of the others before but haven't put them to the test yet! Here goes...

I'm glad you like bigtoe, Troy.

What a great idea to integrate a project collab app with Evernote! I'm unfamiliar with Pelotonics, but I'll certainly take a look!

Let me first say that I like your band’s music. I just stumbled upon that while reading your blog.

Secondly, I am glad to hear that you found Evernote. You are absolutely right that it is an amazing application and its portability is great.

We recently integrated our project collaboration application with Evernote. Now you can take a voice not on the iPhone for instance and then turn that directly into a Task in Pelotonics. The task will have the audio attachment! It is very cool for capturing your thoughts when you are mobile and then integrating them into your team project environment.

Here are some use cases to check out:

I would love to get your take on the two together…especially with you being a designer. We have a good deal of designers using the system!

Thanks for sharing…
