One of my first mobile devices was a Palm Pilot. It was a marvel of design and efficiency. How cutting edge I was back then, able to carry my essential information in a device slightly larger than a pack of cigarettes. I’ve always been a Mac user, even in the days when it was the unpopular thing to do. One of the Palm Pilot’s shortcomings was the inability to interface with my Mac as well as it would with a PC. To the rescue came Markspace, a third party developer who offered software that helped my Mac utilize the full functionality of my PalmPilot. One of the best features was Markspace Notes. I could create, categorize, update, or delete any note going Palm Pilot to Mac and back again, always in sync all of the time. My Palm Pilot has made its way to digital recycle heaven, replaced by an iPod touch. So imagine my dismay, my appointment at being all Apple and unable to find a comparable note app for my iPod touch. The default notes app on the Touch is basic, very basic. I wanted something simple and efficient, something that works without me having to give a second thought to syncing, organizing, etc. I finally found that app with Evernote. It’s very well thought out. You’re not limited to creating, storing and organizing just notes. You can create, store and organize pictures, make web clippings, store and selectively archive and organize your twitter posts, etc. Amazing! There are apps for Mac, PC, iOS and Android. Take a look at this introductory how-to and discover how Evernote makes organizing your life so easy!
