Gtdagenda launches their Android app

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

I’m becoming more and more confident that my next phone will be an Android device.  The ties to Google are excellent for me, and the apps are finally reaching the point of being pretty good.  The Apple app store still rules, but Android is catching up quickly.

Today saw the release of a very nice Android app — Gtdagenda. I don’t have an Android device yet, so I’m not able to test it out, but it looks to be a pretty solid program.

Below is a collection of screenshots from the app, and you can learn more about it on the Gtdagenda for Android page.  If you have an Android phone and can try the app, give it a shot and leave us a comment to tell everyone what you think of it.

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!

Evernote version 2.0 for iPhone released

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

Evernote 2.0 iPhone appI’m a big fan of Evernote, even though I don’t use it for GTD (I use Nozbe for that).  However, I find it to be a great resource for reference material and notes.  I love that it has a Windows version, a Mac version, a nice web interface and a slick iPhone app.  Today, the iPhone app got even better.

Some of the enhancements:

  • Landscape view — turn your phone on its side to get a wide keyboard!
  • Thumbnail view — turn your phone on its side in the notes view to get a neat thumbnail view to flip through everything.
  • Sort your favorites
  • Embedded browser — external links will launch in an embedded browser, to make it easy to get back into your notes after you’ve viewed the page
  • A bunch of other improvements — most minor speed improvements and bug fixes.

If you are looking for a great tool to keep your notes organized on your iPhone, this is the one you way.  If you already have it, go upgrade!
