The cost of purchasing moleskine notebooks each month has gotten out-of-hand ($16+ per). As a previously die-hard paper/pen guy, I've attempted to make the move over to iPad based note taking only to find its abilities completely lacking. There are great apps and stylus hardware, but even when tightly coupled to overcome the iPad's lack of hardware support.. it leaves much to be desired. You see companies like Jot and 53 having to invent far too much in attempts to solve this problem. A shame for otherwise great tablets.
