I just got an email from Phil Libin, Evernote’s CEO, detailing their plans for 2009. It is an interesting list, and good to see them overhauling their UI across all platforms. What would you like to see Evernote concentrate on? Personally, I’d like to see a better ink experience in their Windows version, and, ink [...]
We talk about Evernote quite a bit here, simply because we like the cross platform application a lot. (Even though we’re still waiting for some additions and further tweaks, like being able to view Ink in the Mac client.) Well, today, Evernote continued to up the ante by adding a new feature for Premium account [...]
In many ways, 2008 can be considered the year of mobile computing. The introduction of the Netbook has totally revolutionized the landscape of cost-friendly mobile computing. Couple that with the iPhone and its’ App Store, and the time to “go mobile” has never been more intriguing. If 2008 is any indication, 2009 could be a [...]
Microsoft is rolling out Thumbtack, a bookmarking service that allows you to clip and save info you find browsing around the web. One you save it in Thumbtack you can retrieve the info, sort it, categorize it, and hang on to it. You can access your data from any computer with a browser. If this [...]
Speaking of imperfect technologies that I love, two of my favorites just announced that they were teaming up. You can now use an Eye-Fi card to send your pictures directly to Evernote. This service is launching today. Essentially, if you have an Eye-Fi card in your camera and set up Evernote as a service you [...]
Yesterday in rehearsals for A Christmas Carol we spent the afternoon working through Act 1 and then the evening we ran through the first act twice to see what our work in the afternoon had accomplished. Fortunately, a hard afternoon paid off with excellent results in the run-thrus. But what made the evening more beneficial [...]
I’m knee deep in Christmas, the London of Charles Dickens with Ebenezer Scrooge, and 34 actors in two casts (including 18 children) as we rehearse a new musical production of A Christmas Carol which opens November 29 at Wayside Theatre. In addition to exercising the creative muscles, and the drill sergeant routine to keep things [...]
For those Inkers out there who also use an iPhone or an iPod Touch and the EverNote app for those devices there was great rejoicing earlier this week when it was announced that EverNote released an update that allowed for client-side storage of notes on those two Apple MIDs. Then a bug was discovered and [...]
EverNote continues to evolve and change on some fronts and each step is a good one in my opinion. The fact that you can experience EverNote across multiple platforms and multiple devices makes it a race to keep up at times as we’ll see an update for the Windows Client, then the Mac Client, then [...]
My goodness. Rob is casting off Evernote and heading back to OneNote. As an Inker, I can’t argue with his reasons. In fact they make great sense. Evernote’s Ink support is rudimentary at best on a Tablet PC for all the reasons Rob stated. My opinion is that the Evernote team is busy working on [...]
Ok, I have to get this off my chest — I’ve had it with inking in Evernote — it is laggy, recognition is poor, it doesn’t support mixing ink and text, and the pen icons are very aggravating to the eye while writing a note. There, I said it. I feel much better now. I [...]
it is no secret that I’m a big fan of Evernote. I think and hope this presages even more good things to come from the creators of Evernote. They’ve just announced that they will make an API available and I hope that this means developers will take them up on it and extend its already [...]
The past few weeks I have been getting into a new rhythm using the new (to me at least) Motion LS800. It’s amazing how much I rely on this little guy now! As you can see from the picture, I have the LS800 sitting right next to me every day. It’s a great companion to [...]
We’re three days away from opening out next show at Wayside Theatre, Moonlight and Magnolias, the story of the writing of Gone With the Wind. That means I’m heavy into note taking in rehearsals on my Tablet PC. For the last several shows I’ve been using EverNote to do this primarily due to its excellent [...]
Thank goodness for Twitter and FriendFeed. I just noticed Evernote‘s tweet letting everyone know about their new OneNote 2007 import wizard. I don’t know when this was added, but it will surely make all the Evernote switchers, like me, happy. Now, all of my previous notes will exist in one program and be accessible via [...]
Lifehacker is running one of their Hive Five polls over on their site, this time it has to do with (Tablet PC’s and) note-Taking tools. Head over and give you input on what tool should rank number one – or at least in the top 5. Make sure and read carefully on how to enter, [...]
So, I just grabbed the iPhone 2.0 software from Apple ( direct link ), installed iPhone 2.0, and hit up the App Store. Wouldn’t you know it, but Evernote has a dedicated app complete with voice recording and all – much improved over the already good web iphone version. Now, I can create a note [...]
You should know by now that I’m a big EverNote fan. I love how I’m able to grab just about anything and drop it into EverNote and then be able to refer back or use the data from any machine I’m working with including my Sprint (HTC) Mogul. Using EverNote in combination with another tool, [...]
One of my favorite software tools, EverNote, has now officially gone into the public and out of beta. That’s right, no more invites, the public is welcome to try out this exciting tool. EverNote has also set its pricing and storage limits. There will be a free option that gives you a montly 40MB upload limit, [...]
This is worth checking out. I’ve been participating in the closed beta and really enjoy what the good folks at RiteScript (a division of EverNote) have done in creating ritePen 3.0. If you’re an Inker on a Tablet PC you owe it to yourself to try ritePen 3.0 out. I’ll be doing a full review [...]
Here are some thoughts and reactions to some software and updates I’ve been working with lately. Vista SP1 The install went fine. As expected it took several days before things really settled in after the install was complete. I’ve noticed a few quirks that I’m not sure I can pin any specifics on though. Outlook is [...]
Any aspiring writers out there in GottaBeMobile land? DailyWritingTips, a blog I thoroughly enjoy, has some really good tips for keeping a writers notebook, which is an essential tool for collecting thoughts on that budding article, story, or novel. Of course, we highly recommend using Tablet PC tools like InkSeine, OneNote, Evernote, and others for [...]
Yes, we’ve still got invites to give out for the new EverNote Beta that has everyone talking, but today you can get in on the action without an invite. EverNote has announced that they have passed 1 million notes on the new service (most of them are mine) and to celebrate they have opened up [...]
When I did the InkShow on EverNote’s new beta program that allows you to sync your notes among multiple devices for some reason it wasn’t working on my iPod Touch. Others reported that it was working on their devices and also their iPhones. A day after posting that EverNote pushed out an update and whether [...]
Phil Libin, Evernote’s CEO, responded to my “Doing Some Thinking About Evernote” article and offered some comments on a few of my thoughts. Since they involve a few issues others have asked about, including the big pricing question, I’ve pasted them below: Rob, Thanks for your kind words. I’m very happy that you’re finding Evernote [...]
I can’t say enough good things about how well Evernote has implemented the seamless sync between multiple client platforms and the web. It’s worry free – and that is a very important thing. Here are some random thoughts on the Evernote beta. I dug out my Samsung Q1P UMPC after not using it for 3 [...]
Well, our first 100 EverNote beta invites went fast yesterday (actually 154 – we dipped into another account to make sure everyone got one), and wouldn’t you know it – we have another 100 to give out! So, if you missed out on the big giveaway yesterday, be one of the first 100 people to [...]

The InkShow review of EverNote that I posted yesterday is getting quite a bit of attention (I hope you watch it. This software is a real game changer.) and I’ll be blogging much more on this soon. A couple of things to quickly update on though. The public beta was scheduled for March 25, but [...]
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, [...]
Did you miss out on the 10 invites that Rob had? Well now is your chance to get in on the Beta! Today over on Giveaway of the Day they are offering the Beta for all! Head over and don’t miss out on this one! I ahve been using this for a while and I [...]
We’ve been talking up EverNote’s new web notetaking system that syncs seamlessly between multiple client. I’m currently using it on my Mac, Tablet PC, Vista installation on my mac, and other devices to keep all my notes in sync, as well as clipping and taking notes using their webclipping function. Seriously, OneNote better have something [...]
Evernote’s new Web strategy that allows you to sync your data across platforms is going to be killer. I’ve been participating in the invitation only beta and let me tell you, the functionality that this offers is amazing. Public launch is scheduled for March 25 and I’ll have much more to say then, but I’ll [...]
Mike Elgan writes an interesting piece in Computerworld on the cell phone-PC Connection that, if nothing else, points up just how much of an interesting transition we are in out here in mobile land. His thesis is that PC makers, especially those rushing to join the handheld market, should make cell phones work better with PCs [...]

Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE Review: A Worthy Successor to the Original (Video)
When Sprint had debuted the original WiMax-capable HTC EVO 4G nearly two years ago, it was an instant hit on the Now network. Not only was the HTC EVO 4G the first 4G smartphone in the world taking advantage of Sprint’s then speedy WiMax network, but it brought some new features and pizzazz to the [...]
Last year Toshiba waded into the Android tablet market with the Thrive, a 10.1-inch slate that served as the company’s response to what they deemed missing in the then current crop. Thus, it had several full-size ports, a rugged-ish exterior, and a thick chassis to accommodate both. Though a decent tablet, the Thrive didn’t generate [...]
Samsung Shows That It Is a Software Company
As exciting as it has been to talk, postulate, and speculate about the Galaxy S III’s hardware and specs before the third-generation Galaxy flagship smartphone was announced on May 3rd in London, once the device was announced one thing became apparent: Samsung is now a software company. That doesn’t mean that Samsung is shying away [...]
Autumn Dynasty Review: A Great RTS for the iPad
With its large touchscreen, the iPad seems like the perfect platform for Real Time Strategy games, and Autumn Dynasty proves it, mostly. Autumn Dynasty is an RTS iPad game with art that looks like tradition Chinese painting. The story involves quelling a rebellion while solving a mystery of shady noblemen. The story though, just serves [...]
Griffin GuitarConnect Pro Review: Record Your Jams with Ease
The Griffin GuitarConnect Pro interfaces with your Guitar and your iPad or iPhone so you can record your music easily using apps like Apple’s GarageBand.
