[nabs-l] I devices accessibility

[Ashley Bramlett]

So what is notes and what does it do?
Chris, Maybe you  mean  that it
can do simple writing and editing but not advanced stuff? Kind of like 
Microsoft's Word pad?
Word pad can do some writing features but not advanced things like numbered 
lists and I don't think it does
bold items either.

Well, the iPhone has notes built into it, but that's not really a word
processor, as it doesn't allow you to do any advanced editing.
