See, the problem with something like UltraRecall for me is that, and I realize this self-imposed, my devices are somewhat scattered, too: desktop, laptop, iPad and Blackberry.

Evernote and Toodledo kinda win by default for me since they seem to be the rare apps the run on anything.

Of course, they also lead to the secondary issue that I’m pretty weary of using “cloud” apps in general…needing to trust that those servers will still be online in 10 years…
