Windows’ Notepad is one of the first accessories that I learned to use on my Windows 98 machine. Notepad is possibly the most simple and easy-to-use application that ships with Windows still today, and it’s tough to pick at any of the features or functionality.

ResophNotes is not a Notepad replacement, but a fast note-taking tool for Windows that offers you organization and backup in a small portable bundle.

I bet you are going – not yet another Notepad replacement! Well, the humble Notepad is one of the most under-appreciated programs on a Windows machine. The only reflection of its utility comes from the flattering array of software we tend to bunch together as Notepad alternatives or Notepad replacements. I have gone through quite a few myself. But time and again, I have relied on a little piece of portable freeware called Notepad2.

How do you keep track of the havoc of your online life? How do you quickly save an article for later reading? How do you make a note of a recipe or instructional to refer to later on a different computer? We've been through this topic several times before, and discussed many ways of storing notes, documents and organising emails online. But personally, I find Evernote to be the most complete package. And since we haven't published a review of its desktop client yet, here it is.

This summer, I’ve used Notepad++ for my internship quite a bit, so I can see why almost all developers and programmers I know actually prefer it, not to mention, the thousand of Notepad++ fans that have made it such a popular product. Even though I still haven’t explored every single option that this featured-packed editor has, within a few weeks of daily use, I have already found more than a few handy features

Notepad++ is an extremely powerful (and free!) text editor. Its find and replace tools can do everything from a simple search and replace in a single file to a regular expression-based search and replace across thousands of files at once.

There are lots of Notepad replacements out there, and it seems like everyone has their own favorite. Notepad++ is one of the most popular, but AkelPad is a more minimal option. AkelPad is a fast, simple replacement for Notepad - it's an improved Notepad with much more flexibility. AkelPad feels very similar to Notepad after you install it, but it can start to feel like Notepad++ if you enable enough plugins.

One thing that’s oddly missing from Android by default is a Notes application. Be honest: How many times have you sent yourself an email (or at least saved a quick Gmail draft) just because you had nowhere to jot down a quick note? Well, I hope to remedy that today, with either of these two free and simple note apps for Android.

For me, the iPad is the ultimate device for paperless reading, writing, and photo viewing. The comfortable viewing size of the iPad makes it a perfect electronic notebook for reading ebooks, PDFs, typing short emails, and viewing lots of photos. There are also some very good apps that actually allow you to use the iPad like a notepad.
