Last night, I went to a MacWorld side event in which about a dozen iPhone app developers from Japan showed us their stuff. There were a few that I thought were pretty cool, so I'm going to introduce them here over the course of the next week or so.
TeruMemo is a cute and useful alternative to the boring yellow notepad app. These eight little guys each serve as a separate notepad—click on one, type in your notes, and then re-click on him later to recall that note as a speech bubble. Super cute! The white guy, FYI, is not a ghost but a teru teru bozu—kinda like a nice version of a voodoo doll, made of tissue paper, that you hang outside your house when you want it to stop raining. It's made by a company called Royal Gadget, and you can get it at the App store for less than $2.
Random side note: The event happened to be held at Six Apart HQ, home of Typepad, the blog app I use for TokyoMango. And I ended up harassing this poor guy that works there about how my blog crashes on Firefox. He was lovely about it, and has fixed the commenting bug and is working on the crashing thing. So thanks to everyone who sent me emails notifying me of the bug—it should be fixed soon!
oh that is a cute app. and i'm a constant iphone note taker. i looked it up on the app store and couldn't figure out if you can only have a max of 16 notes or if you can actually have more. hmm.

This is so cute! My favorite is the cat, which I thought was a rabbit at first. Then I noticed the tail. You can have more than sixteen notes; there is a maximum of sixteen cute characters from which to choose.
