Recommend an application, please? - Treo Forums

Can anyone recommend an application for my Treo 650 that will allow me to hand write notes on my display screen? I used Sketch from Mark/Space for years but the new version (old version not compatible with Treo 650) doesn't work well. Notes are difficult to read; in view mode lines become pixillated rather than solid. This application was extremely handy for jotting a note for later reference. I really came to depend on it and would hate to start carrying around paper again!

Thanks,
Ellen

I recently downloaded the trial version of Pennovate at www.pennovate.com According to the reviews, it looks pretty good. I haven't used it all that much but kinda like it so far. I like that you can pan the screen, so it's like you're writing on a normal piece of paper. An improvement over the handwriting apps I was used to (used to be a PPC guy). Hope this helps.

I have DiddleBug. It's a nice little app and you can set a count-down alarm. I use it often. Plus it's free!

I checked out the site and this looks pretty cool. The count-down will come in handy. Tried to answer a question and came away with a good app. Can't beat that.

You guys are great, thanks so much. I checked out both apps and have downloaded Diddlebug. I'm going to go with this and really appreciate the help. HOpe I can return the favor some day. Ellen

i too use diddlebug. the great thing is that it's free, but the panwrite ability of pennovate is definitely a plus to consider. i can't tell you the number of times i've written a note just to have to get a new screen to continue the same note.....
