EverNote 2.0 Is Noteworthy
The digital note-taking application EverNote has reached another milestone. Version 2.0 was released this week. It’s available (for Windows XP and Vista PCs) in a free version and a full-featured paid version which costs $50.
When I first reviewed EverNote back in January, I was impressed by its versatility — the app can be bent in almost any direction to suit your preferred workflow. As a way of collecting and indexing the information one finds throughout the day, time stamping it and making it searchable, EverNote is damned impressive. Keep in mind however that some of the killer features in the EverNote 2.0 beta that I reviewed — such as the text search within images and digital ink notes — have made their way only into the paid version of the software. Get the full feature rundown for the multiple versions here. I’d recommend testing out the free version to see if it fits into your lifestyle, then upgrading if you find it as useful as I did.
EverNote was created by software developer and handwriting-recognition innovator Stepan Pachikov. During my meeting with him a few months ago, Stepan showed me some nascent mobile versions of the EverNote software that were pretty exciting. That’s the next logical step for software like this. Take it mobile and put all of its aggregation power into your pocket.
