tomboy notes for android - tomdroid

I am a avid user of tomboy notes on my Ubuntu PC.
It is a very friendly note taking app which is the best of its breed because of the following :
1. Search : It indexes all your notes and allows you to easily search through it
2. Text Formatting : It allows one to highlight a text(with color), use bold fonts and also supports bulleted listing.
3. Notebooks : You can categorize your notes and create a number notebooks for each category e.g. office, home, kids, linux, blogs etc.

For those corporate guys who have to use Microsoft Windows; good news .. It's also available for you guys.

I am addicted to it and I am sure those of you not using it; will soon find it hard to stay without it ;-)

Now the breaking news :
If you guys have caught up with the popularity of Android phones and bought a one for yourself; Tomboy Notes is available for Android also :-)
As of writing this it's still not available in the "Android Market" but you can download it from here : https://launchpad.net/tomdroid/+announcements

Now for those of you wondering .. "how does it help to have the same application on desktop and mobile phones ?" .. because you can sync them up using the "Ubuntu one" cloud. "WOW".

Other thing .. tomdroid is still in beta. So, you can't edit or search your notes for now .. wait on .. things are getting better.

For details on setting up things on your mobile, desktop or syncing it with Ubuntu cloud; please search for it in the Internet. You'll get a lot of tips.
