Personally, I've no desire for a notetaking app where I write on the screen: the size of the screen is physically too small and the accuracy of the stylus means it's not specific enough.

My ideal usecase for a note app is neatly encapsulated in Psion's old EPOC Jotter.

The key features are:

• Reopens with last-opened database automatically p[em
• Rich-text editing
• Always in "edit" mode

Nothing quite like it on Maemo, AFAIK :-(
