 Welcome to the club!
You don't say what environment you work in as far as e-mail, calendar, tasks, etc. but if it's safe to assume you're using Outlook then I strongly recommend you look at Tablet Enhancements for Outlook from Einstein Technologies. Outlook's "native" Tablet support is essentially non-existent and this add-in makes Outlook a very pen-friendly environment.
Note taking is a very personal choice and depends quite a bit on your needs. Of course OneNote is a great app and has the great feature of synchronizing audio with your written notes (which a number of my attorney friends have become hopelessly enamored of). The OneNote SP1 release will seriously improve how the app works with other Office applications, especially Outlook. And Omar Shahine, a Microsoftie and Tablet user is developing two OneNote Power Toys that will allow you post information from Outlook into OneNote and to pull RSS feeds directly into OneNote.
If you are used to the paper planner metaphor and like that style of information management, the Franklin Tablet Planner is one of the best Tablet applications yet released (along with Mindjet MindManager). What I like about Tablet Planner is that the notes I take related to a contact, an appointment, or a task remain linked to that entry in the planner which makes finding the notes from my meeting last week with Bob a snap.
The Tablet Planner also has an e-binder that allows you to "print" virtually any file (Word, web page, spreadsheet, etc.) into the Planner and then annotate it. These marked up documents can be shared with other Planner users in an editable form or with other in a .mht or .tif format.
