No Surprise Here and That’s A Good Thing- Evernote Has Big Plans For The iPad

Posted on 30 January 2010 by


It didn’t come as a surprise to me when, just hours after Steve Jobs announced the iPad, the good folks over at Evernote announced plans to modify the current iPhone and iPod touch app so that it becomes one killer iPad App. In their own words…

Evernote is going to support the Apple iPad. Oh Yeah. We’re gonna support the hell out of it. We’re glad to see that the current Evernote iPhone app will run on the iPad without modification, but we’ll be modifying it anyway to optimize the experience on the larger device. Oh how we’ll be modifying it! Expect rapid improvements to our iPhone app which will benefit all of our iPhone, iPod Touch and, now, iPad users in the near future.

The blog post goes on to mention support for other tablets as the “Year of the Tablet” unfolds…

Ok, so we’re excited by the iPad itself, and by the HP Slate, and the Sony VAIO L series, and the Nvidia Tegra, and by the added light that these and other devices will shine on touch computing in general. I’m looking at some happy engineers right now.

But wait, there’s more Evernote news…


Evernote announced that their application will come pre-loaded on Sony VAIO computers. Better still, the VAIO edition of Evernote will have two features that current users of the Windows client do not have- a webcam notes functionality (since all VAIO computers ship with a Motion Eye webcam, and quick web access clipper for those VAIO models that have a Quick Web Access function.

I’m glad to see Evernote finding a home on VAIO computers and, in the process, expanding their user platform. I’m also amused by how what goes around comes around. You see, my first three tablet pcs came with the original version of the Evernote note program pre-installed. :)

Dan’s father brought home one of the very first video games when he was young and Dan remembers seeing a “pre-release” touchtone phone. (When he asked his father what the “#” and “*” buttons were his dad said, “Some day, far in the future, we’ll have some use for them.”) Technology seemed to be in Dan’s blood but at some point he took a different path and ended up in the clergy. His passion for technology and gadgets never left him. +Dan Cohen
