Kenneth, same here. In fact, I’m not using a wiki at present but do understand some of the appeal.

I’m looking forward to when Evernote has a Pocket PC version, as lately I’ve been trying to work out ways to get most of my notes on my Windows Mobile phone, as well. I’ve tried out DayNotez and like the seamless synchronization between phone and desktop, but I couldn’t figure out a way to also have the same notes on a computer that doesn’t sync to the phone.

One good thing about Zoot is that you can get at least certain items to sync with a Palm or Pocket PC via Outlook. However, this pretty much has to be a small subset of items unless you want all of your notes to be Zoot memos and confined to a single database.

While Ultra Recall has a lot going for it and I’ve used it as my main app for quite a while, I do miss the Zoot rules + actions combo - there is something about having the software do a lot of the upfront categorization and filing that I really miss. In fact, I might just fire it up right now… chronic debilitating CRIMP syndrome kicking in…
