“Note to Self” has become an everyday expression that lends itself to being applied to personal digital recorders, cell phones and PDAs. The vision is that the “Note to Self” logo will be affixed to either the actual device or branded within the software on the device. After installing the software, The “Note to Self” capability would be with the owner at all times. Everyone, every day, has information that they need to remember and occasionally forget. Software development for the most popular devices, such as the Blackberry, iPhone and others is currently underway. Personal and business thoughts would be captured when they happened and replayed when convenient.
Why Now?
Lifestyles
– busier than ever, on the go, multi-tasking, mobile, in-touch, connected
Technology
– at the right price point, the right size.
The future of “Note to Self”
Once the brand has been established and is widely used, the brand can be applied to other devices, whose primary purpose is not digital recording. Devices such as cell phones, watches, PDAs, mp3 players, refrigerators, and even automobile accessories could have the “Note to Self
(inside)” logo affixed to them.

The vision is that the product would be a consumer hardware or software product, at a price point that is affordable to the general public (approx. $25 for the hardware option, $10 for the software option). The hardware product is not intended to replace a well established segment of the market (professional digital recorders used by lawyers, doctors, business professionals, etc.). The hardware product would position as follows:
