Hi Merlin, Actually, I’m
Hi Merlin,
Actually, I’m probably alone in my thinking on this but I don’t think Apple intends to have iPhone NOTES sync to the desktop.
That way I see it the whole philosophy behind the iPhone is very email-centric. The way you get to read PDF, Word, Excel, docs, etc. is to email them to youself (most conviently by using a special email account). I see NOTES as an extension of that. Apple knows that a lot of people send themselves emails as reminders. The NOTES is just another way of doing that.
If I’m right, you can send a Note from your iPhone to NOTES in Mail, and vice versa, but they will not sync.
Apple wants to get away from mini-databases and list managers. The way you get apps on iPhone is to use Web Apps, and the way you get documents and lists on the phone is to use Email.
There will be 3rd party apps soon, and we will see what all that is about. But if I read the oracles right, Apple’s iPhone is all about the web and email as well as voice and voice mail. It’s not really intended as a Smartphone. It’s a different category of gadget and a different way of thinking and doing things.
