Workaround for syncing notes on iPhone

One iPhone annoyance is that Notes are not sync'ed.

Here is a free solution that does not require another text editor and/or a directory browser: use the builtin Mail app with a Gmail account.

iPhone's Mail app uses IMAP as the default protocol for accessing Gmail accounts. IMAP allows synchronization of messages on the Gmail account with the iPhone.

Now, if you create a message, and save it in the Drafts folder on the Gmail account, or on the iPhone, then it will always be available for editing on the iPhone. All such messages behave, in effect, just like Notes, but with sync'ing.

This allows you to edit a "note" either through webmail, or on the iPhone itself, with content synchronized whenever the Mail app checks for new messages.
