One other omission from your list is Evernote 2.0, currently out in beta. For those who prefer tagging to hierarchies in their note-takers, it provides a relatively inexpensive option.

Overall, I wonder whether the release of OneNote 2007 and the growing maturity of one or two other products will lead to a shake-out in this marketplace in the next twelve months. Hitherto a hundred flowers have bloomed. But one does question why some of them continue to be nurtured, especially now that MS have crashed the garden-party. Perhaps the offerings will be reduced to a handful in each major niche category: wikis, tagging and trees?

Unless, of course, someone can devise an effective new synthesis - like IdeaMason, whose third version I look forward to also.
