Evernote Mobile Web Gets Androidified

UPDATE [12/16/09] Evernote for Android is now available in the Android Market

Unlike me, Evernote is sticking to its New Year’s resolutions. Today we unveil the slick, new version of Evernote Mobile Web designed for Android phones. Android users will automatically see the new version when they go to www.evernote.com/m

What’s new?

  • Easier search and navigation with quicker access to commonly used features
  • Touchscreen optimization makes browsing easier and faster
  • Works in both portrait and landscape modes
  • Dynamic user interface takes full advantage of the Android browser

Check it out: www.evernote.com/m

What’s Evernote Mobile Web?

Evernote Mobile Web is designed for web-enabled mobile devices (not just Android). You can search and browse your notes, email notes to friends and colleagues, create new text notes, and edit existing ones.

Want to add a photo, audio note, or file to Evernote Mobile Web? That’s easy. Simply email it into your account. All you need to do is add your Evernote email address (available on the Settings page in Evernote Web) to you phone’s contact list. You can also try ShoZu, or similar applications, which can be configured to automatically send photos and audio into Evernote as soon as they’re created.

Native version?

We know what you’re wondering, and the answer is ‘Yes’. We do plan to release a native Android client, as well as native clients for other mobile platforms and devices. Mobile versions are a major part of our product roadmap, and the Android-optimized Evernote Mobile Web is a first step. Stay tuned.

    Boooo!
    Where’s the Blackberry optimization?? Why are you guys catering to the smaller installed base?

    How about a BB app?

    You guys got me all excited when I first saw this, I thought it was a native Android app, but then I read it and was let down.

    Glad to see that a native app is in the works. I <3 Evernote and recomend it to everyone I can.

    Symbian, please.

    . . . but http://www.evernote.com/m is better than a sharp stick in the eye, I admit. . .

    My blackberry cries itself to sleep each night due to the fact its denied a steady working relationship with Evernote. Please can you spare the heartbreak??

    Come on guys. Focus on the numbers, not just the hype.

    Something like 200 million Symbian devices sold to date. Surely that should be grabbing your attention.

    The new Nokia 5800 (first symbian touchscreen device) has already sold over a million.

    Surely that should be getting some priority…

    Thank You so much. You have made my week!

    I can’t wait for the full fledged, native, client but this is a great step.

    As I move more of my life into evernote, I find less and less things get “lost”.

    What is taking soo long for the native clients for BB and Android?? It’s killing me. I really want to get rid of my iPhone, but Evernote is one of the major things keeping me.

    Evernote needs to try to implement something like this:

    http://www.officelabs.com/projects/canvasforonenote/Pages/default.aspx

    I don’t know how well this actually works because I don’t have Onenote, but this is light-years ahead of the windows client which seems like a ’90s app.

    I can’t wait for a Symbian version to make the Nokia e71 just the perfect phone.

    Whooop, thank you! Can’t wait for the App!

    I can’t believe it. Right now there is only one Android smartphone on the market and millions of the users of Symbian phones. When is there going to be a version for Symbian?

    Love the Android integration so far. Very impressive.

    I AM looking forward to a native app, though, as Evernote as enabled me to become completely paperless now.

    Really is a great service you run guys.

    This seems… odd. There are more BlackBerry and Symbian phones out there with more users than Android. Why not push to get those out first?

    Since BlackBerry is more of a professional device for typing I would have thought you’d get a native client for BlackBerry, then Symbian and the finally Android.

    Oh well, at least you’re expanding…

    I second, or third, or fourth or whatever the desire for a S60 version for my E71. Yes, the /m version is ok, but what about something better. I don’t want to have to use ActiveNote when I have Evernote everywhere else.

    The point of comments is to have a conversation, so how about an official response? :-)

    Thanks a lot for this, the full site was a bit painful.

    Obviously, thought, I’m eager for the native version, I did like the Window Mobile version, and Android integration should be easier and fuller.

    I’m gracious enough to be happy to let you give your BB/Symbian users some love first ;)

    Will the native android app allow offline access and syncing a la google gears?

    Excellent! Now with Evernote mobile, my Nokia E71 is No.1 phone for me. Thanks.

    03/26/2009   23:21PM

    Excellent! Now my E71 wil be No.1 for me. But how about Evernote for Ubuntu?

    Thank you for making progress with Android, and I eagerly await the native App!

    @everyone who is complaining about the attention to Android before BB, Sybian, and Windows Mobile:

    The Evernote team can clearly see the writing on the wall. Android is a more advanced operating system, and because they allow deep access to the system in an open source environment, developers in the known are flocking to Android.

    04/02/2009   16:02PM

    I’m also eager to try the Android version. I’m pretty sure I will upgrade to premium when it hits the Android Market :-)

    Why does the new evernote.com/m site not work with my Nokia 5800? I still get the old site. Is there a way to force it?

    I still want a native S60 app, but am confused why the new mobile site doesn’t work correctly.

    It works fine (Great, actually) from my N800 tablet. Wish I got the same love on my phone.

    Small issue: I went to the android site on my Blackberry bold but it didn’t work because I’ve chosen to disable javascript. But now I can’t go back to the old version of preview.evernote.com/m ! I keep getting re-directed to the android site which I can’t use. Any ideas?

    I’m waiting for the Android native app – so I can then sign up for the Premium package and know it’ll work for all my devices.

    I hope development is moving along here.

    Once the android native app comes along… premium here I come

    I just picked up an HTC Magic and the mobile site doesn’t work at all. All I see is a list of notes. No ability to move to different notebooks or use tags. I have Javascript enabled. Am I doing something wrong here? The native app is needed.

    07/02/2009   00:19AM

    Please can we have a Symbian / S60 client?

     
     
  37. Sam

    07/21/2009   05:32AM

    Hoping for a client for Android! Thank you for the great product – I went “pro” just yesterday (but will be using a HTC Hero (Android) soon).

    Hi, I’m an Evernote Pro user and need a native Evernote client for Android for my Hero. When do you release it?

     
     
  39. rossgeography

    07/29/2009   08:46AM

    Delighted and all for Androids but please please for Symbian / S60 (nice evernote.com/m site though)

     
     
  40. Ken

    08/05/2009   05:14AM

    Okay, this post was in March. There is now a client for the Pre. No native Android client yet.

    I use tags as my primary form of organizing notes. The search on the mobile edition does a poor job of searching on tags. And offline work is not possible.

    Could really use an Android version. I’ll echo the others who ask, do you have a release date?

    I would just like to add my voice to those asking for Symbian/S60 support. I have just started using Evernote and love it, the one thing that would make me go for premium membership is a native Symbian app.

     
     
  42. Alb

    08/10/2009   15:55PM

    Another vote for an S60, power users on N95s could really use a version.

     
     
  43. Fila

    08/10/2009   23:54PM

    Yet another vote for Symbian, please.

    08/15/2009   12:22PM

    Another vote for Symbian / S60 from me. The iPhone version is really nice. Truly amazing array of clients so far so one more will hardly be an effort right? ;)

     
     
  45. Liam

    08/27/2009   08:19AM

    Symbian please, would love this for my N86!

     
     
  46. Steve

    08/29/2009   14:24PM

    Disappointed that there seems to be a plethora of mobile clients but nothing for Symbian / S60.

    A vote for a client to make my E71 happy please?

    On a side note, how about something for Maemo 5 / Nokia N900?

    Thanks!

    Is it so difficult to develop a symbiam version, or is there any strategic reason not to do so? Does Apple made any arrangement to have an Iphone version before Nokia/Simbiam? Why nobody at Evernote office answer our questions regarding this issue?

    isn’t the symbian market much larger than android?
