Obama’s speechwriter emails himself notes

Barack Obama’s speechwriting staff

During his vacation, Favreau e-mailed notes to himself via BlackBerry while visiting friends in Manhattan and talked about structure at his family’s Thanksgiving dinner.

Jon Favreau (not this one), Barack Obama’s 27 year old head speechwriter, emails himself notes when composing speeches. I wonder if using Denote would make writing the inauguration easier?

Denote version 1.1 now available

Denote version 1.1 is now available on the App Store for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The main new feature in this release is the ability to rotate the device into a landscape orientation to reveal a wider keyboard, making note editing easier. In addition, the subject lines generated by the application are now trimmed to a reasonable length, so that they will appear more clearly in your inbox.
