Note Taking on One's Mobile Device

I told myself that I was not going ot post today, but as I got a minute and am thinking about how to make a note of this to myself to post later, I figured that I beter just post about it now because I won't find the note later (doh!).

A great discussion on note taking is going on over at PocketPC Thoughts. And if you are one of those who has tried/does use their PDA/smartphone as a bible in chruch/bible study/office setting, then you know how much of a bear that can be until you get a good system going. For me, I keep a good chunk of notes, but many of them I tend to forget because I do not alarm them to go off later.

It is for that reason that I will be trying out Electric Pocket's BugMe Notepad, since it allows freehand notes that you can take alarms with. I just find too much thru the day that I want to notate, but then no piece of paper is there. Of course, for me, I need a note taking program like BugMe, but then some way to integrate it with my today program Facer, so that I can make the best use of those recent notes that I might have written.

How about you? How do you do notes on your mobile device, or do you stick to paper and let things run into your mobile device from there?
