AndroidTapp.com Android App Review:

Features:

3Banana Notes Android App takes note taking to the next level by letting you add pictures from your phone camera to the note or Scan the bar code of the subject (Shopping items, Websites and more). QR codes popping every where as a replacement for URLs, that’s great foresight from the developers. 3Banana Notes is an awesome Social networking companion. Just make a not,e associate a picture or even better… just scan the QR code and socialize. Added to that snappy bar code scanner, you can share your note to a whole slew of other Social Networking sties or even make a QR code of the note if needed. Kudos to the developers and designers for their smart wholesome thinking in chiseling this brilliant app. 3banana Notes will also let you sync your notes on your Android phone or mobile device to their online servers. Using your Google ID, users can sign on to 3banana’s website for reviewing your existing notes or add new notes for later syncing to your mobile device. The screen shots are about the discovery of a solid perfume which was promptly shared with someone with spray perfume allergies.

This is definitely the most versatile note app. I often synch notes between my pc and phone. I can’t say I’d ever use pictures or barcode scanning in the notes, but other than that it’s really nice and smooth.

A widget would defintely be good as well!

I Just installed it. Nice simple GUI. Powerful well written app.
Coming from PalmOS, this seem to be the perfect app to replace my “memo” app on the Treo.

Would love to see a widget and a Private note, ala palm

  Not Really, but it took me like 10 minutes to move about 150 palm notes to 3banana.
  Copy paste.

Can you explain the mechanics of copying the palm memos to 3B?

  On a regular computer:
  1) Open Palm Desktop
  2) Open 3banana web interface
  3) Select a memo entry from the palm desktop and ctrl-c (or right-click &
  copy)
  4) go to 3Banana web interface and ctrl-v (or right click & paste)
  
  As I said, it is not the fastest way, but if you have fewer than 100 memos then this can be a one time operation of about 10-20 minutes.

I installed 3banana and it is a great note app. I like being able to link notes with photos (something I’d never done before). And not only that, the developers who maintain this application are truly amazing. I had a small problem with the app on my phone, and so I emailed them. They were responsive, and helpful–they are really great!
