Note taking is my pretext for buying an iPad. Not sure this app is it though.

An app for note-taking and a stylus with a fine point would be a fabulous way to take notes and keep track of random stuff I write down. I already carry a portfolio with a pad of paper. Bye bye to that if someone does it right.
First Look: SketchNotes for iPad
by Erica Sadun (RSS feed) on Mar 28th, 2010
When I first heard the idea for SketchNotes, I wasn’t really that intrigued — until I watched this video. Combining a text editor and a drawing tool, SketchNotes brings a nicely conceived idea to the table. On a platform that supports both text entry (via a physical or onscreen keyboard) and touch-based drawing, unifying these two concepts comes more naturally than I would have thought.
Developed by Amanda Rosler of ZombieCatSoftware, SketchNotes looks like it will offer a simple but pleasant utility that will come in handy both when taking notes on the go and while sitting down at a desk or (more likely) table at Starbucks. It’s yet another application that I look forward to trying out on a real device.
