iOS 5.1 Brings Rich Text to Notes App

A screenshot allegedly stemming from iOS 5.1 aims to reveal that Apple is bringing bullets, links, underlined text, new fonts, and colors to the iOS Notes app.

Put in the simplest words possible, the Notes application in Apple’s mobile operating system is getting rich text formatting.

Conveniently, rich text is also part of the new Notes app in OS X 10.8 aka Mountain Lion, which Apple seeded to developers last week as a preview. The new cat will make its debut late this summer, Apple said.

iOS 5.1, for its part, is set to arrive sometime next month during or around the unveiling of the third-generation iPad. What do you guys think of the new Notes app? How would you put it to good use now that it has rich text formatting?
