Today is the last day to get <PhatPad> for 99 cents.
It can convert scribbles and scrawls into editable text (amazingly well IMO). It does so either in real time (as you note-take), or on a selection (after the fact). More features as well (see link above). Not quite a Pages-killer, but i would think for 99 cents it's a steal. [normally 8 bucks]
