23 Mobile Things 2014 #5 Notetaking

I tried the Bamboo Paper notepad app on the iPad. It writes smoothly with a finger or stylus, but I didn't see typing capabilities. I tried Remember the Milk on the Kindle Fire and it is type-based. It would be good for lists. However, I share the Kindle so don't take it with me. And you must pay to upgrade to receive reminders.

Dragon Dictation would be of interest, but it seems to be Apple only. Another one to try: SpeakToIt . . .

Zite is newly available for Kindle Fire in the Amazon App store (formerly it had to be sideloaded from Google Play). It required five interest categories to create a site. Since I have limited time, I thought that was too many for me, but I was able to remove some later. Now I just receive news for "books" and "Kindle."

I wondered if this would be a time saver or a time sucker, and so far the answer is both. I have come across relevant articles I never would have seen otherwise. However, there are also some I regretted wasting time on. But overall, I think it is useful.
