Hasta La Gadget!

In the past few months we have seen Evernote Food for iOS receiving a number of updates. It seemed like Evernote had neglected the Android app, as it had not received any such update even when the iOS version was getting them. Today the update of Evernote Food for Android has finally been released, the update makes this app similar to its iOS counterpart as it comes with a significantly improved user interface which includes a new navigation drawer.

The basic function of this app is to make it easier for users to remember the food that they love. Evernote Food 2.0 update gives users access to thousands of recipes from some of the best food websites. The MyCookbook feature displays all recipes saved using the app, and if they have been clipped or saved in Evernote, the recipes will all show up in My Cookbook. My Meals feature offers a photographic journey through your past food escapades. There’s also a location based list of restaurants through which one can clip and save restaurants they want to try or keep a log of those they have already visited. The updated app is available for download now from Play Store.

It may seem difficult to believe, but iOS and Android users do share something in common: they both like to eat. But while Evernote Food for iOS has seen a couple of updates in recent months, its Android counterpart has been somewhat neglected. That ends today, though, with a huge 2.0 refresh that finally gives Evernote Food for Android parity with the iOS version, including a new navigation drawer with four main sections.

Breaking those down: Explore is a compiled list of Evernote-suggested recipes, My Cookbook stores clipped recipes from the main Evernote app and around the web, Restaurants lets you discover and bookmark places to eat (you can even make OpenTable reservations) and My Meals is essentially a food journal. As for platform discrepancies, the Android app has a Recently Viewed pane which the iOS version lacks, but the latter offers recipe-sharing while the Android one doesn’t. So go ahead, foodie Android fans: download the app and get to sharing your favorite food memories. Remember, you don’t have to say how you got that pizza delivered.

Evernote has updated its popular screenshot and feedback tool Skitch today with some pretty nifty features catered towards those who like to mess around with PDFs. The app now comes with the ability to annotate PDFs, as well as use “stamps,” which are essentially small symbols that you can place in a PDF to tell a collaborator whether something gets the thumbs up or thumbs down.

You can import single or multi-page PDFs into Skitch, and then you can annotate them with different shapes, arrows, and of course text. This allows you to point out items that need to be changed or want to give special attention to. You can also use the Highlighter tool to draw attention to a specific section of text or imagery.

The new stamps feature includes five stamps. There’s a red “X” stamp for bringing attention to things that need changed, an exclamation mark to draw attention to something that possibly needs attention, a question mark for items that may be confusing, a green checkmark to give the all clear, and a heart stamp for marking something that is excellent and shouldn’t be changed.

Once you place a stamp, you can add text next to the stamp to elaborate on your change that you want made. These features are actually only available to premium Evernote users, but the company is offering a 30-day free period where anyone can use these new features. The update is available now in the Mac App Store as well as in iTunes.

Have you heard of Evernote before? Sure you do, they are the note-taking app company that has seen great success in recent times, and rumor has it that Evernote intends to make the jump from just app and software to the competitive world of hardware sometime down the road, with a few years being its timeframe. Of course, Evernote will collaborate with different hardware manufacturers in the market in order to churn out devices which will be created specifically for the Evernote service, although it remains to be seen just what kind of form that these products will take on.

Evernote CEO Phil Libon told the IDG News Service, “We won’t actually do the manufacturing, but we’ll do the co-design together.Eventually, in a few years, three, four, five, I think we’ll be ready to do something ourselves.” “New and magical” devices were the keywords used by Libin, and it seems that they are working hard to introduce a paradigm shift for sure. Just what kind of hardware do you think Evernote will eventually roll out, if ever?

If you thought your Evernote account was full of note now, just wait until you’ve got a device that’s built by the company from the ground up! According to no less than the CEO of Evernote himself, they’re already looking into doing a branded piece of hardware for the Evernote ecosystem. While it doesn’t appear that Evernote will be creating the device (or devices) all themselves, they may be doing a co-designed machine manufactured by a 3rd party company – perhaps the HTC Evernote is on the way?

Speaking this week at the New Economy Summit to IDG News Service this week in Tokyo, Evernote’s CEO Phil Libin made it clear that the company will – in a few years – be thinking about creating their own device. Between here and there they’ll be pushing for a co-designed smart handheld. Have a peek at this quote and see what you make of it:

“We won’t actually do the manufacturing, but we’ll do the co-design together. Eventually, in a few years—three, four, five—I think we’ll be ready to do something ourselves.” – Libin

According to Libin, the company is continuing to join up with massive names and services as they move forward. Evernote was one of the first names to join the Google Glass initiative this past year. They’ll also be bringing on two-factor authorization for increased security across the board – starting in May, probably, so says Libin.

With services on the rise, the eventual Evernote device will certainly need to be “new and magical”, according to Libin. Competing with the likes of Apple, Samsung, and HTC (if they don’t join up with one of them for the product) will certainly require more than a half-headed effort. This will also not be the first time Evernote has integrated their software into an existing product – beyond apps there are connections now inside scanners, smartphones, tablets, cameras, and blood pressure monitors as well!

Have a peek at the timeline below to see more Evernote action as the software ramps up toward a hardware unit – only years away!
