In an App Store entirely oversaturated with notes apps, it's not easy to stand out. Vesper, an iPhone app which launches today, is at first glance remarkable because it was built by Apple pundit John Gruber (of Daring Fireball), developer Brent Simmons (known for MarsEdit and NetNewsWire), and veteran interface designer Dave Wiskus. The supergroup met up several months ago and communally longed for a dead simple notes experience with tags on iPhone. Soon after, they decided to form a software company together called Q Branch, named after James Bond's crafty quartermaster. Today, Vesper hits the app store, but is it as impressive as its pedigree would suggest?
