Evernote’s strategy has become clear and it is a three-pronged approach. The first prong, continually refine and develop the multiple platform clients that are currently available, including Mac, Windows, iPhone, Android and more. Seriously, it seems as if there is an Evernote update on one of the platforms I use every two or three weeks. Second, Evernote is developing numerous partnerships with software developers who use Evernote’s API to bring tight integration between their applications and Evernote’s power. Finally, Evernote is developing numerous partnerships with hardware manufacturers including Fujitsu, Lexmark and, most recently, Samsung.
A recent software update to the Samsung Behold® II brought Evernote as a “core application” and today the company announced that Evernote will now begin shipping pre-loaded on select Samsung devices running Android. As CEO Phil Libin noted-
We’re incredibly excited to be working closely with Samsung on their line of Android phones. Android represents Evernote’s fastest growing mobile platform. This partnership helps Evernote reach a huge new audience with our promise of perfect memory for everyone.
I’m a huge fan of Evernote in its own right but I’m also a fan of the way in which they have been moving to develop their service/business. In a world in which web-based services seem to come and go on an almost daily basis Evernote has found the formula to take a great product and make it increasingly powerful and flexible. And apparently it is working. Back in December Evernote announced that they had crossed the million-user mark. At the beginning of February they had 2.3 million users. A month later… your guess is as good as mine.
