Conboy has a great feel on the N900 - thanks very much!
One word of caution: I just moved across 300 notes from Notecase into Tomboy on the laptop, then onto the N900 using SSH and WinSCP. It looked fine and I could edit them in Conboy but all changes were lost *without warning* when I closed the app because they had been imported as read-only. Don't forget to right-click in WinSCP or whatever prog you use and set write-permission in properties - only takes seconds.
All working very well now; has to be one of the most useful apps and search is *much* faster than notecase searching the same set of notes.

For the adventurous of you, there is a new version (0.6.3.2) in Extras-Devel. I've fixed some sync issues, although I'm sure there are still some left.
As usual, please make a backup before trying! Also you should not try it with your production U1 account. I once had the situation, that after a sync I couldn't access U1 notes at all.
Also please note, that synchronization of deleted message is not yet supported.
There are still some U1 bugs left as well. In short:
- Don't use the ampersand character (&) in the title of a note. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntuone...rs/+bug/490969
- It is somehow possible to upload a (invalid) note to U1. U1 will not block this, and later does not allow you to access your notes. Happened to me once, but I couldn't reproduce. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntuone...rs/+bug/526269
- Older notes, that have been edited with the U1 web interface, are converted to invalid XML. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntuone...rs/+bug/527335
Anyways, have fun

Great app Conny! I espcially like t hat I can create and edit notes on my desktop and send them over to my tablet for reference or further editing. I have been using conboy on my n800 and have had a home grown sync with my linux desktop tomboy via some scripts, ssh, rsync - I look forward to trying the U1 sync instead.
One odd thing that I noticed that may or may have to do with conboy: Certain notes created on conboy crash tomboy with the a long error that starts with:
and about 30 more lines of 'at' blah blah blah. . . .
These notes originally worked on tomboy a few months ago (not sure what version) or maybe it was something that changed in conboy.
Anyway when I try gnote, the notes open fine, so the problem in probably with tomboy - still I thought I'd bring it up in case anyone had a similar issue.
For reference:
Tomboy version: 1.0.0
Conboy version: 0.6.3.1

Code:
Exception in Gtk# callback delegate Note: Applications can use GLib.ExceptionManager.UnhandledException to handle the exception. System.Xml.XmlException: Multiple document element was detected. Line 7, position 4. at Mono.Xml2.XmlTextReader.ReadStartTag () [0x00000]

The U1 sync still needs more love, but it will certainly come.

Would it be possible, that you send me one of those corrupt note files? I could look at the XML inside the note and see what the problem is.

One thing I did notice is that conboy and gnote list the last changed date of the 'Ohio' note as 01/01/1970 and 12/31/1969 respectively.
Once I manually removed the two problem notes tomboy allowed me to create and delete notes. Which is nice cause now I can try U1 syncing

Yea, that's because this note has two blocks containing the metadata. One with the correct data and another one with 0-values, which translates to those strange dates. I've never seen that before either.

Anyways I'm happy to hear about your experiences with the sync stuff.

I did not really stop and take a look at the problem notes until I read that tomboy and conboy support U1 and wanted to try it.

I just do not want to fill you new obtained thesis free time with problems that may not be conboy's fault.
I'll keep an eye on it and see if I can recreate it.

This version has some advanced features the community version did not have though lacks some other which were present.
However it looks to be pretty usable.
From all solutions I have seen so far on maemo Maepad comes closest to Notecase.
