Android questions

[Jerry Feldman]

I currently have a Blackberry and will be moving to the Motorola
Backflip shortly. The only issue I have is that I have over 400 entries
in my Blackberry Memo Pad (currently synced with Outlook notes). There
are a number of ways that I can extract my memos from the Blackberry. 
One objective is to be able to access the memo pad from Linux, which is
something I can't do with the Blackberry.
There is a program called ABC Amber that can take a Blackberry .ipd file
and convert it to several formats, including text, pdf, html, and other
formats. I do have some passwords stored there, but they will eventually
go into KeepPass. 

There are many apps on Android that are similar to Blackberry's Memo
Pad. One program that would work fine is Evernotes, but I don't think
that I can access the Evernotes data directly from Linux, and I also
don't want to be locked into a single app. So the issue is going from
either the Blackberry or Windows Outlook Notes to the Android without
having to do a lot of work. Evernotes will work fine because it works
with Windows, Blackberry and Android, but AFAIK, not directly on Linux
platforms (though theoretically it might).

So far, Evernote appears to be the best option because I can keep a copy
on Windows (work), Android, and on the web, so I can access the data
from my Linux system. So, what I'm really asking is to see what other
Android owners have done, primarily with Blackberry or Palm memo pads.
