Evernote 3.0 + iPhone 3GS = Perfection!

Monday, July 6th, 2009

It’s a beautiful combination — the new Evernote 3.0 with the new iPhone 3GS.  First, you can read about Evernote 3.0 here or watch the short video below.

My problem with Evernote on the previous iPhones (original and 3G) was the lackluster camera; it was nearly impossible to get a clear shot of a business card.  Now I can snap photos of business cards, receipts, etc in great quality with the iPhone and immediately push them to Evernote using the app.  Due to the clear quality, Evernote makes all of the text in those items searchable and it works very well.

Version 3.0 had a few uploading bugs in it, but the 3.0.1 release (came out yesterday, I think) solves those and it’s a great little app.  If you’ve got a new iPhone, this is certainly a must-have app!

Take a look around David Allen’s office

You 2.0 has just posted a neat video of David Allen in his home office, going through his “collection” process after a trip.  After watching it, I’m feeling pretty good about my sytem, as it’s quite similar.  I have a few more high-tech tools in my arsenal, but all-in-all it’s roughly the same.  Check it out below!
