Android questions

[Jerry Feldman]

I have KeepPass on the BB, but it caused the BlackBerry desktop to
crash. Essentially, I will be using that for password stuff and other
sensitive information, but initially the task is to preserve my Memo Pad
and be able to use it. And Evernote does have a BlackBerry, Android,
Windows, and Web version, so I would be able to access my data on Linux.
