I never do my writing on the iPhone or iPad, but I'm going to give Elements a try and perhaps (hopefully) that will change.

  1. Mike Azzano says:

    Great app, had it since it released, but I HATE the new icon. It's small, but it does matter to some people...

  2. The way applications is being developing for iPhone, it seems that after few months or years iPhone or any other mobile will replace the need of computer.
