I’ve been doing something similar, but found that the delay in launching apps was a bit of an obstacle. I’ve been playing with a Today screen widget that gives you a text box for capturing text. This can then be appended to any previously nominated text file.

I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on this sorta thing.

I’m in the Evernote beta, but I haven’t downloaded the latest WM client. I need to get that up to date. I’m very impressed with Evernote overall. It’s not quite as flexible as OneNote, but they “get it” a lot better than Microsoft that people aren’t always at their PCs anymore. OneNote’s WM client is a joke, and they have no web-based version I’m aware of. Evernote seems to understand that you might want to enter AND retrieve data anytime, anywhere.

That said, I’ll probably still stick with a text file. When I explain my mobile GTD implementation, you’ll understand why.

On “ubiquitous capture”, I meant to respond to your post back in December, but never got logged in. I have become big fan of two tools to get things into “bits”. The first is jott.com - I’m sure you’ve seen this. I have my jott account set up to send thoughts, to-do’s, events and just whatever off to my e-mail, Remember the Milk and Google Calendar (which is sync’ed with my desktop calendar and my phone). I’ve found Jott’s speech-to-text system to work well, even through my Okie accent. Sure, its at least partly handled by a human, but I really don’t care if someone in India knows I need to pick up something at Walgreens or the name of new restaurant I want to try.

The other tool I’ve got hooked on is the new beta version of Evernote. With its capability of being able to automatically sync notes across multiple platforms and on the web, your info really does become available just about anywhere. The web interface and search capabilities even work reasonably well in Blazer on my Treo. Plus, combine the ability of e-mailing information to your Evernote notebook with Jott’s voice to e-mailed text, and its become a slick powerful ubiquitous capture tool. You can really get quite a bit into a 30 second “jott” message. And once I get it into one of the digital destinations, I can then massage it or transfer it to another app as needed. But like you say, that’s processing not capture.
