Evernote has pushed out an update for its iOS app, tossing some more features into the mix, as well as support for Skitch. Those who update to version 5.4 will find Favorites on the iPhone transformed into Shortcuts, the ability to annotate notes with Skitch, and for Premium users, a new related notes feature that pulls up relevant past content.

The shortcuts addition is something that can be pulled up with a tap on the star tab, revealing shortcuts to a variety of content, as well as saved searches if desired. The shortcuts are synced across multiple Evernote apps for those who shift between devices. Shortcuts can be created for notebooks, notes, and such by tapping the same star tab from within the content.

As mentioned, the Skitch integration with the update allows users to mark up their content, whether it is a note, an image, or a PDF. Users will need to grab the Skitch app in order to use the new functionality, after which point a Skitch icon will be available to tap, pulling up the feature. Using Skitch with PDF files is reserved for Premium users.

The related notes is as simple as it sounds – related notes being pulled up beneath newer notes, making it easier to find content you might need from your notebooks while working on something else. As long as there is related content, it will automatically be pulled up underneath the current note. This feature is also reserved for Premium users.

And rounding it all out is Announcements, which is a section that Evernote will use to push it own content for users. Among the announcements will be things like tips, updates, and popular tutorials. This feature is accessible via the Bugle icon. Aside from these big four, the rest of the changes are minor, pertaining to things like performance and stability.

Feeling productive? So are the folks at 6Wunderkinder, who’ve been busy little bees translating the popular desktop and mobile productivity tool, Wunderlist, into a packaged application for Chrome. The Wunderlist for Chrome experience is about as close to native as it can get — because it’s a packaged app, it works outside your Chrome browser, just like the desktop version. Included with the app are nifty features like voice dictation for your to-do list, desktop notifications, offline availability and a tagging system. Linux users will be especially happy to know that the Chrome version brings Wunderlist back to their OS, after having lost it when the company abandoned HTML5. To get your productivity on, head on over to the source link below to download the free app. And for a quick preview, check out the video after the break.

We reported back in June that Halo: Spartan Assault would be making its way to Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8, marking the franchise’s first foray into the mobile device dominion, as well as a long-awaited return to PC. Word at the time said that it would be launched some time in July, and per an announcement by Nokia on Twitter this evening, today is that day.

Those using a Windows Phone 8 device on Verizon will be able to grab Halo: Spartan Assault from the Windows Phone store, while those running mobile operating system on a different carrier are going to have to wait until next month. Windows 8 users, however, have seen their days of waiting come to an end, with the game being available for download from the Windows Store.

The game was created by 343 Industries and Vanguard Games, and won’t be seeing a big launch in retail stores, with it instead serving to help push gamers towards the Windows platform, whether mobile or otherwise. This is the first Halo franchise game developed for touchscreen devices, and as such it won’t be quite as intense as its console-based brethren.

There are 25 missions available in the game, with the player operating as Spartan Davis and Commander Sarah Palmer. It is promised to offer gamers a robust story line that dives “deeper into the back-story of the Human-Covenant wars,” giving enthusiasts a reason to pick up a copy. The app – both mobile and Windows 8 version – is priced at $6.99, but you’ll have to pay for each separately if you want it on both your computer and smartphone, for example.

The game can be used with a touchscreen, but there’s also support for using a keyboard and mouse if desired. Whatever device is used will need to have at least 1GB of RAM, while those with lower memory will be able to pick up a revised version designed specifically for the less powerful hardware next month, according to Microsoft. Have you already grabbed a copy? If so, let us know what you think!
