Unpacking Evernote: Apps for Note-Taking and a Repository for Note-Keeping

Evernote is designed to be both a note-taking app and a place to organize your notes from a variety of devices. A mobile productivity maximizer, it is designed to be multiplatform, usable through the Web site interface, as a Mac and Windows program, and as an app on all types of iOS devices, Android, Blackberry, and Windows Phone. Evernote notes integrate text, images, audio, and clippings from Web sites. Evernote also syncs with a variety of other sites and applications, both from Evernote and other contributors. Its greatest usefulness is in this ability to offer inputs and outputs to and from other applications and to facilitate different kinds of note-taking modes for users that switch frequently between the contexts of desktop, laptop, phone, and tablet.
