I wonder if the same characters turn up in Opera, which also uses the WebKit rendering engine (I think)?

I don’t know where these odd characters come from, although I note that they are mouch more common in quoted (i.e. cut ‘n’ pasted) text.

Let’s try Swedish: åäö, ÅÄÖ (should be aaö and AAO vith dots and rings)

Just curious because of this entry: there�s

I had been demo’ing SB for almost a month when Y came out, and the very first thing I thought was “WOW! That looks a LOT like SB!”

Now there may be differences under the hood, but looking at previous versions of SB and Y would lead an honest person to say that they looked similar.

Palm syncing and the context menu features are the only advantages I see to SB over Y. I still haven’t bought either.

Adding a PDF print service is child’s play. I’ve added a few myself. Again, prompted by Yojimbo’s inclusion of this feature.

For the record I wish BB would do a Palm conduit as well. At the moment I use Missing Sync’s Memopad app for notes I MUST have on the go. It’s a pain.

“Directly copying features, be they built in to the OS or not, of a new competing product weeks after they are introduced is cynical.”

So, then are you suggesting the StickyBrain programmers burned the midnight oil to directly copy features that had been released just weeks before, and rushed a new beta to the street with several major changes from their prevoius version, all in a couple weeks time?

I would think it would take them a bit longer, just for testing alone.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I looked at Yojimbo and really liked it…but when they responded that they have no intention of ever supporting Palm synching, that was the end of the story for me. Just like Scott (above) who needed flawless .Mac synching, so for him Yojimbo was the final answer.

For the life of me, though, I don’t understand BareBones’ reluctance to build a Palm conduit. It’s not rocket science, and Palm synching fits *very well* with a note-taking type app…they go hand in hand for many people.

Nobody, least of all me, is trying to suggest that slide-out drawers, printing to PDF etc are original concepts. They are built on the OS which allows for these conveniences.

Nobody is trying to suggest (I hope) that either Yojimbo or StickyBrain are “original” in concept.

Ergo - no I have not been disingenuous. And yes, I have installed and tried StickyBrain as well. It didn’t really do it for me. I also tried Notebook, NoteTaker, Mori, and a few freebies.

Directly copying features, be they built in to the OS or not, of a new competing product weeks after they are introduced is cynical. That’s really the end of the story for me.

Is Yojimbo as robust? No. Does it offer as many bells and whistles? No.

Does sync work? Flawlessly.

And that, right there, is the name of the game.
