When discussion specific products, could people specify what platforms they run on?

Wes,

the outliner you mentioned is probably Notecase Pro which runs on Windows / Mac / Linux (including the Nokia Maemo) as well as FreeBSD and Open Solaris.

These days even ‘cross-platform’ can be used in a limited sense, meaning (usually, I think) Windows / Mac OS X. Yet, for me at least, Linux is now the second OS after Windows. I love Evernote and have bought a premium subscription, but it still doesn’t support Linux—though I admit that its support for iPhone and Blackberry makes it a tempting reason to buy such a device.

Defining ‘cross-platform’ as Windows / Mac / Linux, here’s my own short list of useful outliner-like software; I’m sure there’s more, though probably not much:

- Xmind http://www.xmind.net/
