Despite hundreds of keyboard and stylus accessories for your phone or tablet, a pen and paper is still the easiest way to take notes at work. And in their continued effort to bridge your gadgets and notebooks, Evernote and Moleskine are introducing a business-oriented notebook that gives you space for jotting private notes not meant for coworkers’ eyes.
Anyone who sits in on a meeting and jots down notes understands how hard it can be to transpose them to a digital format. You draw a chart, maybe a … Continue reading

I’ve always maintained that OneNote is Microsoft’s most under-rated product. Now, the recently untethered (from Office) and free (hallelujah!) app has added a capability that makes using it even better: You can email important notes directly to your OneNote notebooks.
To set it up, all you need to do is click through to Email Settings on OneNote.com and sign in with the Microsoft account that’s associated with the OneNote notebook you want to use. By default, you’ll see the email address you just signed in with. If you want to add more addresses, you’ll need to add them as aliases in your Outlook.com account. Hit save and you’re done.
To email notes into your default notebook, just send an email to me@onenote.com from any of the email addresses you just configured and watch the note appear as a new page in your Quick Notes section. It’ll work like this: The email subject becomes the title of the note, and whatever is in the body of the message becomes the note itself. If your email has graphics and rich text, those will all be preserved as well.
You can use this functionality to quickly email to-do lists directly into your OneNote notebook, for instance, or forward maps, itineraries, and flight tickets from your email to OneNote for your next vacation. Very, very handy.

Evernote for Android has seen many installs over the years, being one of the more popular apps on the Android platform.

This time around, Evernote for Android’s latest version appeals to one of the most basic things that we learned when we were young – writing and sketching. Digital handwriting support is now part of Evernote for Android, where you can move from writing to typing in a jiffy, not to mention squeezing in some time to snap a few photos along the way – all within a single note.
