I find it very handy to have a smartphone so I can run EverNote and jot down notes wherever I am and then trivially access them on a regular desktop computer. [info]obsessivewoman is much happier now that the “evil laughter in the middle of the night” phenomenon is accompanied only by the dim light of my turning on the screen of my phone and writing down whatever story idea showed up in my brain, rather than having me turn on the bedside lamp to jot it down on a piece of paper.
I find none of this even the least bit persuasive. I have no interest in spending hundreds of dollars for a gadget that does what I already can do. And a gadget that will be obsolete (as planned) in a few years, requiring the purchase of ANOTHER expensive gadget.
I prefer my Moleskine for the jotting down of notes, with my mechanical pencil.
