Text Editor Epistle Syncs with Dropbox on Android

I am always looking to leverage my most commonly used tools and Dropbox is among those.  Some call it using the API, others a product eco-system; leveraged properly, a powerful tool.

One of the Holy Grails of my existence is a simple text editor to use for taking notes and it appears that on the Android, Epistle fits the bill.

It links your notes in a folder called epistle in Dropbox and syncs easily. Simple Text Editor, powerful to use.  I edit on the other end with Notepad ++ which has its own ecosystem.

Now I may have to use tools to be able to generate scripts and actions with these simple files, for now, easy notes.

Apparently better to NOT purchase a Droid

I was talking with someone about purchasing a Droid last night.  I saw this today from Engadget about a huge jump in the ETF fee associated with smart phones from Verizon.  I think that just like their major competitor, they can’t handle the new phones and so would appear to be hoping to freeze the early adopters into not canceling, or make a lot of money from them when they do.  If they put this time and effort into the network, they would own the market.
