Gournal for your Tablet-PCs

I was looking for an alternative to Tomboy which can allow formatting of tables but it led me to Gournal, Jarnal and Xournal.
Gournal is an application designed for use in a Tablet-PC. If you’re looking for an application that would allow you to treat your Tablet-PC like a regular notebook or if you’re looking for something similar to Microsoft One Note but for Linux, this could be something to look at.
Dependencies are: libgtk2-perl, libgtk2-gladexml-perl, libgnome2-canvas-perl, libcompress-zlib-perl, libgnome2-print-perl and libxml-mini-perl.
The application developer wrote that this application doesn’t recognize handwriting but the pages of your notes are saved as gzipped SVG files.
Features:
- Multiple sections
- Fine/Normal/Medium/Think Pens
- Eraser
- Highliter
- Typed Text
- Time-stamp
- Zoom
- Infinite undo/redo
- Delete entire strokes
- Networkable pages
- Insert Images
- Load a file as the background
Not quite as versatile as OneNote but it makes it more like a notebook for people who use Tablet-PCs. This makes me a little envious right now. And if ever they do put a handwriting recognition feature, I’d probably end up saving up for a Tablet-PC then install this. 
Though I prefer a wiki-like version of this app very much, to be honest.
