Just Notepad for Android is an amazingly handy and useful tool. Note things you need to remember - phone numbers, addresses, to-do lists, and store them by simply opening the app, typing or pasting the text and then shutting it down again. Simple but great!

Noteshelf is a handwriting, note-taking app. Once you've made notes, organise them on the shelf however you like for easy reference. There's a choice of 20 notebooks, the digital ink is impressive and the choice of pens makes sure you'll be happy with the presentation as well as the content.

If you need to sign documents, take notes or doodle your way through a boring meeting, Penultimate is the app for you. Write and draw in bold gel ink, create and manage notebooks and produce excellent handwritten and drawn images without picking up a pen.

An incredibly simple way to organise your life, Evernote enables users to create text, audio and video notes. Add favorites, sync with your PC or Mac, organise by location and even sort photos. Whether you’re studying, working or a running a home this will change your life!
