Personally, handwriting is not really a very effective way of taking notes if you're faced with volume and speed .. a key point here or there quickly is fine, but extensive note taking is much better done with a pen and paper or a keyboard. While I dont cling to the old notions, and I do use technology extensively, I find that there nothing out there that can replace the free form of a sheet of paper.
For a lecture setting, I find that the recording feature is more useful than an MP3 feature .. subject to obtaining permission from the speaker.
I agree. I can actually type faster than I can write so I prefer taking a laptop into lectures to take notes when I can.
