Gruber: Apple Never Said There Would Be Synching

John Gruber at DaringFireball.net points out that Apple never said there would be synching between Leopard's notes and the iPhone. Before it was removed, the text on Apple's website said that iPhone users would be able to "...access [notes] from your iPhone." As Gruber points out, you can view notes as email via IMAP.

"I think Apple changed the text of this web page because people like Chartier were confused about what they were referring to, not because they’ve removed a feature they previously promised."

I disagree with Gruber there, as I think Apple removed it because synching wasn't ready, and they will eventually add note synching to the iPhone. There is solid evidence the synching feature is coming. A warning pops up Leopard's notes when you try to change fonts. It warns the note will be changed into rich text format and that "rich text notes may not be editable on iPhone and other devices."
