Does Android 2.3.4 has a built in notepad where I write scratch notes?

If yes, where do I find it?

If no, what is the best notepad (free or paid) application available?

(very new to Android, just got my Android phone)
 
Depends on your style of usage.

1. For large notes you can see, edit and do stuff on your PC with as well, use SpringPad or Evernote. Use either depending on the way of organizing you want. I put random notes, my movie collection list, notes of/about stuff I want to share, (basically everything I come across along the way and think I'd like to remember, as I like the SpringPad webclipper better than Evernote's) etc in my SpringPad. I use Evernote primarily for school notes and other things I want organized. Mostly they do the same things anyway with only the notebook interface that's differing. They have PC based solutions too. Any edit you make on your notes from one location (your phone/laptop/home PC/work PC) are synced across the account. Evernote only allows offline notes on PC only unless you have a paid account. SpringPad on the other hand is fully free (but their PC solution is a web app/chrome extension). Another option is CatchNotes (which you can also sync to via AK Notepad) but I havent used either.


2. For basic note taking, Droid Notepad allows scribbles/doodles, ColorNote allows lists and basic notes (each note or list can be placed on the screen as a post-it like widget), while Extensive Notes and Classic Notes are two ridiculously full featured note pads. They're very nice and has a LOT of features.
