I’ve been talking a bit about the new version of EverNote over the last few weeks as I’ve been participating in the private beta. This new version, which comprises a web strategy and works across platforms is a real game changer, at least for me personally. This is the first cloud application that I’ve used, beyond some of Google’s products, that fulfills the real promise of cloud computing by allowing me to capture, store, and access my data across the platforms I use. In addition to the web version, there are versions for Tablet PCs and PCs, Macs, and Mobile devices. I’m using it on the Sprint Mogul, my Lenovo X61 Tablet PC, and my iMac, and I have to tell you it is a joy to use. I know there are other applications that work within the cloud, but none have fulfilled my needs the way that this new version of EverNote does.

EverNote is aiming to be your second brain. A place that you can store all sorts of snippets of data from web clippings to scanned info, to pictures, to voice recordings. Remember, it is still in beta, and all the functionality I’d like to see isn’t there yet. For example, viewing ink in the Mac version isn’t included yet, but at the moment, I’ll accept that. There will be a free version of the new EverNote and also a Premium version. What’s nice, is that you aren’t going to be limited to the number of devices you can use EverNote with.

The great thing about being 3 years from the Tablet PC launch, is the number of notetaking applications available to Tablet PC notetakers.

In this Software InkShow, we take a look at one of the choices now available to Tablet PC notetakers: EverNote

EverNote is a very unique notetaking application in how it incorproates categories instead of folders, and its endless tape for storing notes.

Current Tablet PC users might get a bit frustrated in how EverNote seperates Ink and Text notes, and limits the places Ink can be used. Overall, I feel that EverNote is a great notetaking application for text notetakers, but there are better solutions for Tablet PC notetakers.

This SoftWare InkShow was produced entirely using Camtasia Studio Presentation.

Update: In the InkShow, I call this version "EverNote Professional". The correct name is "EverNote Plus"
