This has been there for quite some time. The first time I saw this message was just after the first iPhone software update. Notes sync into the iPhone would be awesome. For now, we're stuck with accessing notes through the phone's email client.

Interesting...I posted something similar to this in my blog several weeks ago:

This is exactly why I had to turn to Evernote. Having notes all around the place and not be able to sync them is complete bull. We need this. Now.

You can already sync mail.app notes with iPhone by using mobileme sync

flunky Carter said 11:14AM on 8-15-2008
explain how this is done please!
Kyle said 12:58PM on 8-15-2008
ya but do we want to fork out 99 bucks?
chad said 3:26PM on 8-15-2008
You can't. Sean is confusing Notes with To-Dos, which do sync to the iPhone
roz said 11:57AM on 8-16-2008
Sadly neither Todo nor Notes sync to the iPhone.
Todo and Notes sync between computers over MobileMe, but not to iphone.
Additionally, Todo can be viewed and edited on me.com, in the calender tab - but they don't make it to the iPhone --- yet.....

Phew! I missed that back in October '07: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/07/10/03/leopard_notes_to_sync_with_iphone.html
Thanks for the repost!

This is not news. Apple (I forgot who it was) already stated that they wanted to have note syncing in the iPhone, but just didn't have time to get it working right. They said it would be coming soon.

They might as well have added it. Nothing they added works right, anyway, so we'd still have come out ahead.

where was this stated?

"You would expect it to be a shortcut for bold, but no ... it brings up the above dialog."
Ummm... it IS the shortcut for bold, but bold text is something that requires rich text formatting.
Additionally, I don't have an iPhone and I don't get this dialog when pressing Cmd + B, I get bold text.

Meatleg said 11:17AM on 8-15-2008
IF your Mail is set to create notes in RTF, then you will just get the bold font. IF your Mail is set to create new notes in plain text, then you will see this dialogue before you change.
I had the same reaction you did, then I changed to plain text. When I tried to change back, i got the dialogue.
weisen said 12:25PM on 8-15-2008
It seems as if the reporter thought that cmd-B was the "bring up funny dialog box" shortcut. Weird.
Jayson said 9:49AM on 8-15-2008
You guys are all wrong. This is for MobileMail.app on the iPhone. You know that when you check your Mail on the iPhone, the Apple Notes folder is there. I think this is simply referring to that. When you read notes that were created in Mail on the iPhone's mail, it may not keep the formatting... that's all. Why didn't you guys think about this before posting it?

Jayson said 10:15AM on 8-15-2008
Wait, I take that back. I think it's Apple To-Do that shows up in MobileMail.app. My bad.
chad said 3:26PM on 8-15-2008
Yeah it's just the To-Dos that show. Hopefully we'll have Notes soon
