What's taking RIM so long to publish jotsy to the appworld, I just can't wait, I have been checking the appworld every few hours since the 24th
Same here! Jotsy will be such a value add to the PlayBook! Hope someone is working at RIM this week..no new apps have come in except those stupid digi-media books and puzzles
Awesome! Downloading now... will update this post with a v.quick review.
Update:
Pros:
- Pen, highlighting and text annotation!!!
Cons:
- PDF scrolling is not as smooth as I would have liked... it is a bit stuttery
- There is no easy way of knowing what page you are on (no page X out of Y anywhere) nor is there a visual scroll bar to tell you where you are at
- You need to sync your .pdf's from your PC to Jotsy first before you can annotate... no support of annotating .pdf's already on the PlayBook/from Dropbox/from e-mail/from internet
- Need to download PC sync component from jotsy.com but nothing there
well, the app is kinda slow, but I guess it's RIM's fault with poor html5 engine. It's a great idea, using it is fun but I think it needs a feature where it could open pdfs stored locally (you don't have to use the sync feature).

"subsequent pay-for-use versions will be regularly released beginning in Q1/2012, with extensions to storage methods, enhanced security, multiple document formats, and a few other surprises'
For me atm it is not very user friendly... the main ones for me are local storage and smoother scrolling.

There are a lot more features coming soon (Jan and Feb releases) including those mentioned by you. The delay of the 2.0 version of the OS was a challenge for us. We were determined to get a version out as per our commitment at DevCon.
All,
The new Jotsy: Annotate files on your Playbook. And beyond. is available. Here you'll find more product info, and the synchronization .exe for download to our PC. This will allow you to transfer files onto your PB.
