The handwriting issue is interesting, of course in many circumstances a keyboard is the best option. But there is a place for the handwritten note especially in some meeting situations where you don't want to interupt the flow of the meeting by clicking away on the keyboard. I also find annotating presentations and word documents when reviewing easier with the pen than the keyboard. That said you won't find me writing many documents with the pen! The final time I use the pen is on conference calls, its a silent way to make notes. The association of notes and the audio timeline is a feature of OneNote, its automatic and really useful.

I do like the idea of associating notes (anyway recorded) with speech recording but never found a good way of doing it; i.e. associate a certain point or period of speech with notes pertaining to it. How do you do it, so that you can then index the notes and navigate to the right point in the speech? Onw could use this to attach motions passed in an assembly or conference.
