Notes Online
I’m a major MAJOR fan of OneNote, but it doesn’t really have an online interface which makes it tough to use when you’re really mobile (meaning you don’t have access to YOUR machine). Google has a Notebooks offering and there are wikis galore, but now Live Labs at Microsoft has release a cool new app – Thumbtack. Looks awesome!

Lots of devices offer to record voice notes for you, but that hasn’t stopped Microsoft from offering yet another entry into this crowded space. This time, Recite from Microsoft (currently in beta) promises to add some really killer features to your Windows Mobile device, including a slick UI and the ability to search through your voice notes!
