myNotes: Lean note-taker with iPod, Address Book integration
Not everyone needs a juggernaut like DevonTHINK Professional to take notes and manage their information. Even mid-range PIMs like Yojimbo and SOHO Notes can be over-kill.
The right tool is often something small and lean, something like myNotes (or Sidenote or similar).
myNotes is a simple-to-use, efficient note manager with a few tricks up its sleeve.
Watching how cleverly it auto-titles notes makes me wonder why more apps don’t support this.
Getting stuff in and out is made easy by support for importing and exporting plain text, rich text format and Word documents.
myNotes also syncs notes with an iPod, so that you can take your notes with you.
Integration with other iApps means that emailing a note with Mail.app is just a right-click away:
It also talks to Address Book, so that right-clicking on a first or last name in a note, pops up email addresses, URLs and phone numbers for that person from Address Book:
URLs and email addresses are automatically hyperlinked although I had to add “mailto:” to my email addresses to get them to work).
Five built-in styles for printing notes and settings for the transparency, text colour and background of notes lets you customize the app’s output and work area “to suit your needs or moods.”
myNotes is shareware (USD 17.95). A demo is available from the developer’s web site

I agree. myNotes is a slim little note taking application. It has fewer features than SOHO Notes, Yojimbo or other apps in that class, but it makes up for that with speed and ease of use.
Since you mentioned addressbook integration as an asset, you might also want to check out Journler, a free (for non-commercial use) application that keeps a low profile in the Mac community but is, to my mind, a worthy note taking app. Despite its name, it is suitable for much more than keeping a diary.
Journler features include iLife integration, audio and video entries, smart folders and content filtering, tagging, categorization, labeling, tabbed editing, Mail, iWeb and Address Book integration, blogging and Spotlight support. Also, it is Apple scriptable and entries can be encrypted, if that fits your needs or your lifestyle.

While Journler is good, myNotes is still easier and funnier to use than anything else :)
