Hi Paul,

I often work offline on my smart phone and Evernote handles this well, just synchronizing when I reconnect. The webbrain.com service only works if you are totally connected, I believe.

So the lack of Android app really makes me cross it off of my list even though I would like to try it. I just can’t invest that kind of time building my personal knowledge base if I can’t take it with me on my mobile devices.
