Evernote: Create and access notes almost anytime, anywhere

Deciding to “take note of something” and forgetting what that something is can be really frustrating. This is where something like Evernote comes in.

Evernote lets users capture information easily and makes it available almost anywhere. Take a snapshot of a product’s brand name, scan a receipt, record your own voice, and save web content with a single click. These are just some of the ways Evernote use to ensure that you won’t forget something that you need to remember (you need to remember to check your account, though).

Getting an account is painless and free, though there is a 40Mb storage limit for free accounts. Once you have your account, all you need is the right Evernote version for your device. The downside?  The mobile phone software is available only for Windows Mobile phones and the iPhone and there is no desktop version for Linux yet. Once you have the software up and running, synchronizing data from different sources is just a matter of point-and-click. To access your files, just log on to your account via your web browser and all the information you have saved is available to be searched, sorted and tagged.

It sounds like a blessing for overly absent-minded people who, hopefully, aren’t too absent-minded to remember to check out Evernote.

Evernote has versions for Windows Mobile phones, the iPhone, Mac OS X 10.5, and Windows XP or Vista. The web versions are compatible with most browsers.
