“Note taker with alphabetical listings”

by James Thornton about Textpad

One of the benefits of owning a Palm device has always been that you don't need to carry around a pen and paper all the time, because the handsets include a built-in note-taking application.

This is great, though the Notepad app in Palm is far from perfect.

Textpad is designed to enhance the way you take notes on your handheld, providing an alternative way of creating and classifying notes that can help you to be more productive.

The main difference between this and the default notepad is that Textpad allows you to sort all of the notes stored in your memory either chronologically or alphabetically.

Of course, you get all the basic features of a notes program, including the ability to create new notes, save them, edit existing notes, and even share notes via IR.

This makes it great for jotting down your thoughts, making lists and setting up tasks and reminders, though it's still far from being a fully-fledged word processing app.

Textpad is easy to get around thanks to a well-labelled interface, though the only slight qualm I had with it is that the application's footprint is rather chunky for a Palm app.

On the plus side, its size is this big as it requires no Runtime to use it.

If you're looking for an app that creates and sorts notes more effectively then Textpad fits the bill and can definitely help you improve your productivity in this respect.

Pros
  • Sorts notes chronologically or alphabetically
  • Clearly laid-out interface
  • Send text files via InfraRed
Cons
  • A little bulky
  • Lacks some advanced features
