To a large extend, Dropbox and Evernote have replaced my Pulse Pen. However, I am about to dust off that pen and use it for note-taking for phone conversations (when some people at work are annoyed by the sound of my keyboard - besides, I type as slowly as I write, but with more errors). The Pulse Pen can also record voice, but that is a feature I agree with Ryan that the Dropbox iphone app makes mobile file access less cumbersome than the Evernote app. However, I find both of them (esp. desktop versions) must-have components of GTD system, and I use them extensively.

For most "media" files like music and video, I just use a shared folder on my LAN since it's slower to sync those types of files. I use Ubuntu Linux and Windows mostly and Dropbox works flawlessly on both systems for me. Oh, and I find the dropbox iPhone app is better than the evernote app for reading notes mobilely. I even brought Mozy into my cloud, along with some cron jobs that backup my files. Good to see like minded people ;) Anyway, I'm currently liking where Tomboy Notes are going now that they work on Windows and the "Ubuntu One" web service. It's currently not quite as powerful as Evernote but I like being able to create/review all my notes from a panel icon rather than having to keep a full-blown desktop app and/or web browser tab open 24/7. Plus you can just sync your Tomboy notes with Dropbox. If Tomboy doesn't work out I'm pretty sure i'll just stick to evernote/google calendar and dropbox.

You can update it with information that Dropbox is available as an app for iPhone (free) now. Keep doing great job. I'm looking forward to some new articles, your site is already in my RSS feed.

I use Dropbox for my reference files. I tried evernote, but I didn't feel entirely comfortable with it. I use tomboy notes for @inbox and google notebook for web clippings. My tomboy is synchronized with remember milk, so I could access it from outside my laptop. It would be great if google integrates their google notebook with their calender. But doubt it since they stopped active development of notebook. http://senthilnambi.com/?p=190 Senthil Nambi I use something similar. I use Dropbox for my reference files.

Dropbox is for reference related documents regarding my running projects. Fokke Hi Tim, I do use Evernote for storing documents too but only task related, ie if I have to act on a specific document.
