I’m rather partial to a great notebook. A number of my friends have included their moleskin’s as don’t-leave-home-without-it. So I can imagine the Moleskin app for iPhone’s is going to be very popular.

Moleskin is inspired by the humble black notebook used by a swathe of sparkling geniuses of the 19th and 20th century. This modest notebook captured the ideas and stories of the likes of Vincent van Gogh, Ernest Hemingway and Bruce Chatwin.

Today, Moleskine is synonymous with a set of indispensable creative tools that help define who we are, identifying us wherever we are in the world. They have become a symbol of latter-day nomadism, and they are intimately tied to the digital world.
