Entering data with Note Pad The Note Pad application provides a place where you can write a quick note in your own handwriting directly on your handheld screen. Think of Note Pad as a virtual "sticky pad" for short notes. Later, you can transfer your "sticky" notes to a more permanent place by entering the information in another application, or you can "throw them away" by deleting them.
