I've tried a few ways of capturing and sorting information.
I tried the Hipster PDA [1], but without review, sorting, and copying onto my computer, I had issues with finding notes, and ever-growing stacks.
I tried Org-mode by using MobileOrg [2] on my phone, but learning Emacs, and getting Org-mode to work on it, was a big hurdle. And MobileOrg by itself doesn't really sort or search very well.
Spurred by a Verge article [3], about syncing notes everywhere with Notational Velocity, I gave SimpleNote and ResophNotes a shot. It was pretty immediately impressive! I eventually imported my MobileOrg notes, and haven't touched that since. I'm a bit bummed that there's no Linux client, though perhaps the Dropbox integration would let me build something. I really like the search interface.
I've heard encouraging things about Evernote, and it can hold images and other documents, unlike Notational Velocity, but I've been content enough, so I haven't really examined this.

I hope this helps!
