Catch (version 3.11) is a free mobile note-taking app for iOS and Android devices along the same lines as Evernote (for iPhone) (4 stars, free or $45 per year for Premium).

Canadian software house Corel seems to be stuck playing second-fiddle to its competitors to the south. In office apps, it shadows Microsoft. In illustration and photo editing, Adobe's number one. Though VideoStudio Pro X4 doesn't quite match our Editors' Choice, CyberLink PowerDirector 9 ($99.95, 4.5 stars) in the speed of some operations or number of tracks allowed, Corel can stand tall and proud: VideoStudio is...
GarageBand '11, the latest version of Apple's amateur musician software, builds on an already impressive, easy-to-use app, with more ways to help your band play better together, more amp and pedal styles, and better tools for teaching you how to play instruments.

The suite comes free on new Macs, of course, and it's Mac-only. Though the equivalent suite...

When it comes time to share, you can e-mail a sketch or an entire notebook without leaving the app, or pipe your pad through a projector for group collaboration. While the app's touch-based sophistication will no doubt impress consumers, but when paired...
Some might argue that the netbook's heyday is over, but there's still a growing number of them finding the market. In fact, we'd argue that the netbook may be on the rebound, thanks largely to AMD's Fusion platform. While Intel's Atom was revolutionary for its time, the chip never seemed to improve quickly enough. Even new Atom CPUs feel sluggish, and thanks to Fusion, Intel's in a spot now where they simply need to step up if they plan on matching...
