Notes

Since I've had the iPad, I've been seeking a good notes or notebook application. I've ended up with several I would recommend:  

• Evernote-quick notes, snippets, or as a scrapbook
• DailyBook--a date based journal which you can include pictures and use a keyboard to type
• NoteShelf--a notepad, handwriting capable with wrist protection, and you can use your keyboard to type.
• I also tried PhatPad that a friend sent me.  I like it, but it doesn't have all the options of NoteShelf. 
• NotesPlus is a pretty good notepad, and you can use a stylus to write or the keyboard to type.

Noteshelf updated their program recently--the biggest improvement was the ability to create a box and use your keyboard to type versus write.  You can create different notebooks, they appear on a bookshelf, you can change cover designs, and design your own paper.  You can send pages of a notebook to your Dropbox or Evernote accounts (additional options too).  I could see creating my own packing list, saving as a JPG, and then pulling it in as a standard form/paper for one of my notebooks.  Cross things off as you pack them.  I wish DailyBook and NoteShelf would sync to the iPhone at least for reference - Evernote does.
