Tell Tii - Note Taking Apps / Back to School Apps

Hey Rob,

Regarding the question on note taking apps, I'd like to mention a great application that got me through my studies and also in my day job for the past 5 years or so... It's called OneNote and it's actually a PC application - part of the Microsoft office suite which students can get for a very low price.
The reason I mention it is because I recently found a great ios app that syncs it to the iPad or iPhone called Mobilenoter...

For detailed reviews here are links to my blog virtualida.com where I recently posted on this very subject -

Hello Rob,

I´m writing you from the beautiful Medellin, Colombia, though I am from the awesome Monterrey, Mexico.

I want to share with you and all your listeners a great app and software for note taking. This software is for making mind maps, its called iMindMap and comes in different versions. There is for Mac, Windows, iPhone, iPad and I think that also for Linux. This software is almost for anyone. From a student that want to take notes at school, as for the teacher to organize the year program, or for an airplane company that is building the next supersonic aircraft. I use it in the inside of the back cover of all the books I read to make a resume of what I read, so when I get back to the book, I don´t have to read it again. I also use it to organize my agenda, my life and my ideas.

The idea behind the mind maps, is that is easier for the brain to recognize and remember what you wrote. If someone doesn´t know what a mind map is, please check it in wikipedia for a more detail explanation.

I get to know mind maps in a photoreading course, and then buy the book from Tony Buzan, the developer of mind mapping, and since then been using it.

Best regards,

Recommendation for back to school apps:

http://istudentpro.com/  - I like this one better for the iPhone (not so great on iPad)

http://ihomework.pilone.org/Home.html  - I like this one better for the iPad....the interface is much more friendly than the other on the iPad - but it works fine on the iPhone too.

Hi Rob!!
On this weeks episode you mentioned that we should let you know about homework apps that we've found and I have found one! It's called "my homework". It allows you to keep track of all your classes, all your homework (surprise!), and a lot more I really enjoy this app and just wanted to share that with you. 
Thanks,
