Default [Q] Note taking apps?

So I was thinking of buying this capacitive stylus: http://www.amazon.com/Acase-Capaciti...pr_product_top

But I was wondering if there are any decent note taking apps designed for use with a pen. Because if there aren't, it's kind of pointless, I don't think there's really anything else I would use the stylus for, except maybe drawing.

Thanks!

I'm not sure of a good app, but I do own this stylus. Once I get my Transformer tomorrow, I will let you know how well it works.

Not sure to what extent you plan to use notes, but I use "Note Everything Pro" and absolutely love it!

Default Handwritten notes

If you're talking about handwritten notes, some people from the xoom forum suggested handrite, check it out and tell me if it works with the transformer. There is a free version with ads. Also many users suggest get rid of the auto insert feature through the settings for the app and it becomes much more usable.

Amazon 1-click Order is dangerously easy. Just ordered it. I'll play around with the note taking apps and let you know what I find. Tablet's coming tomorrow, stylus should arrive on Tuesday.

I'm using flext9 it can be used as swipe which works faster than the one installed on the transformer and it also has a writing to text feature that's pretty cool.I take my notes on evernote which also has a share button to email/ share it to a computer. You can also create an account and sync your documents up to access anywhere.

I can't believe this, from the time since the beginning of Android to now, NO ONE has created a combinable Text & Handwriting note program.

Where is the app that lets you draw and type within the same note? This was possible in Windows Mobile, 10 years ago!!!

All the programs available seem to at best be able create drawing notes separately from typing note, WTF?

Please Thanks if it helped!

Hey dummy, read the post above yours.

I can confirm this. FlexT9 works great on the Transformer. It does an AWESOME-fast Swype style. Then it also has a handwriting-recognition mode that allows you to write within any app.
Screw note-taking apps, when you have a keyboard like this you don't need them.

The post above mine previous (#6) mentions two things:

FlexT9: an input method, not a program that supports scribble drawing & text notes
EverNote: an notes program, without any scribble drawing support

Care to enlighten me with your wisdom again?

Please Thanks if it helped!

+1 for flexT9, it is now my keyboard of choice too, much quicker than handwriting or typing in my opinion.

There is another note taking app called Tabnotes, currently under development. It looks very promising and could potentially be the killer notepad app. Works really well with handwriting with a stylus.

A trial is available on the market for you to try out, the program has been developed with tablets in mind.

At present you cannot use keypad entry, I have emailed the developer of the app for this function, we'll see what happens.
