So like many others, I've been struggling to find a good iphone/mac outliner combination, so I can switch over from Windows. Tons of my friends are switching, and all are reporting very good experiences. But I won't go until I have a rock solid outliner solution for both the computer and cellphone.

Lifebalance is going to make one, but I had problems with the notes sizes on their windows version. I found I was syncing and getting data truncated. I currently use natara bonsai for the palm and I love it - but they have no mac nor an iphone version.

A mac friend pointed me towards a potential solution today - to use evernote. Its not an outliner, so this will be a different model slightly.. its basically a rather organized database for textfiles, but you can tag them and also search by keywords. It also allows for saving searches.

I notice in my outliner that it does build up cruft and need to be reorganized, which I've not done for about a year.. So it might just be that evernote is a better solution for storing all your textfiles and using its searching capabilities.

I also noticed evernote is one of the top iphone productivity apps (#3):
