Use PicoNote for dead-simple note taking anywhere
Like to keep things as simple as possible? Looking for a way to create notes for yourself?
Take a look at PicoNote. It's available in three forms: a free Windows application, a web-based app, and a mobile-friendly web app (http://m.piconote.com). From the moment you sign up, you'll enjoy its simplicity - the registration form only asks for a username and password.
Once you've created an account, adding notes is easy to do: create, add title and body text, and save your note. If it contains a URL, Piconote will automatically turn it into a clickable link. Private notes are hidden from prying eyes, but you can also create public notes to share with anyone. There are no formatting options, but you shouldn't really expect those from a "pico" application anyway, right?
The desktop application is just as easy to use. Its interface defaults to Polish, so to switch to English just click notatnik -> language. Once you've created a local notepad, Piconote will sync it to your web account and automatically sync it every time you open or close the file.
If that's not enough, you can also create notes via Twitter. Just follow @piconote and send a direct message.

Hi, for which excaly mobile browsers id doesn't work? I will try to fix this ASAP, but it's pretty strange because the HTML for mobile app is really simple...

Maybe because it is a WAP browser

...and, their domain is expired as of today. I was using this product for the few days since this article, but now I guess I won't anymore unless someone pays the piper.

I have several other notetaking software programs that I like better then this one. It does not have everything I need for my research. I like NoteScribe. It works the best for me.
