As yet I've not yet got any of the i-devices or even a smartphone for that matter, but I always find myself in the mostly social position of recommending devices apps and software's. More recently I seem to have influenced a few friends to get an iPad. I'm pretty certain that they will next want to know which apps to use for writing, notes, letters, posts, documents etc. ?

If you want a full app, I'd say iWork, otherwise you could probably use a cloud based solution. If they prefer talking to typing there is always Dragon Dictate.

Thanks, but my friends need an app to type into and save individual files.

depends on how much formatting etc they want to do... and what formats.

Evernote
Simplenote
