PaperDesk
Great run down of PaperDesk for iPad 1.2 over at TUAW. PaperDesk for iPad is a note taking app in the same family as Penultimate but with some additional features. While PaperDesk does address some of the shortcomings I noted in Penultimate (colored ink, online sync), the handwriting capture is far inferior to Penultimate which has a very true “pen on paper” look and feel (see my prior review of Penultimate). For my needs, the fast and accurate capture of Penultimate is more important than the additional features PaperDesk for iPad offers.
That said, there is one great feature of PaperDesk for iPad that will keep this app on my iPad. PaperDesk for iPad can output whatever you write on its whiteboard to a projector. Great for capturing and displaying brainstorming sessions and the like without the giant sheets of white paper that always seem to get taped all over the walls during these efforts. Your iPad notes can then be emailed out as pdf files. You’ll need the VGA out dongle from Apple to enable this feature.
Give it a try at your next brainstorming session and let us know how it goes in the comments.
