As much as we rely on apps to keep life organized, it'll never replace the charm of jotting down inspiration in a simple notebook.

As much as we rely on apps to keep life organized, it'll never replace the charm of jotting down inspiration in a simple notebook. Perhaps realizing this, legends of both the digital and analog worlds, Evernote and Moleskine, are teaming up for the new Evernote Smart Notebook by Moleskine ($25, pocket size; $30, large). Notes taken on the special dotted paper of the Evernote Smart Moleskine notebook can now be easily transferred to a phone through the iOS app's new Page Camera feature. Take a picture of a doodle or notes, and it'll be updated to the rest of your Evernote account. The notebook also comes with stickers that, when used with the app, tag and customize specific points in your notes. Check out the gallery for this new world of note taking.

Trend: Moleskine Notebooks

That's right folks, even in this age of BlackBerries, Treos and iPhones, the old school Moleskine notebook is making a comeback.

That's right folks, even in this age of BlackBerries, Treos and iPhones, the old school Moleskine notebook is making a comeback. According to Buzz Feed, my source for all things hip and hot, leather-bound notebooks are gaining a cult following as a low-tech PDA.

Of course it helps that Moleskine journals have a history of popularity with artists, writers, intellectuals and travelers. How trendy are they? Companies like Moleskine US have gotten into the game by creating collection after collection of notebooks, including a line named after trendy cities like Paris, Prague, Rome, New York City and Barcelona. They cost $16.
