Sooo Shiny: Evernote for the Palm Pre

June 12, 2009 | Posted by Andrew Sinkov in Product updates

Evernote for Palm® Pre™ is here. It’s the newest addition to our rapidly growing family of remember-everythingamajigs. Get it now from the Palm App Catalog. Visit our Palm Pre webpage for screenshots and additional information.

What does it do?

Evernote for Palm Pre lets you capture your experiences and inspirations instantly as they occur, and then find them whenever you want. It allows you to create text and snapshot notes on the go, edit existing text notes, and search through all of your memories, even those created on your desktop or the web. Evernote for Palm Pre also lets you open and view multiple notes at once, launching a new “card” for each.

Don’t forget to try our image recognition. Take a photo of something containing printed or handwritten text, send it into your Evernote account, give it a minute to process, then try searching for the text. This is great for whiteboards, business cards, wine labels, signs, scribbles, and more.

Mmmm…thumbnails

You can easily toggle between two view options. One gives you thumbnails along with some meta-information (title, date), while the other shows a wall of note thumbnails —perfect for quick browsing.

Now, where was I?

pre-location
Evernote takes full advantage of the Palm Pre location awareness capabilities. Whenever you create a new text note, Evernote captures your location and associates that with your note. Later you can search for notes created within 5 miles of where you’re standing. So, say you’re visiting headquarter and want to find the notes your took on your Palm Pre the last time you were there. All you need to do is launch Evernote, tap the Search button, and tap Search Nearby. Voilà.

More to come

The Palm Pre is a brand new platform, so we’re just learning the ropes. You can look forward to more great features and functionality in the not-too-distant future.

    Lots of good comments here but what nobody’s talking about is the Android client — when is THAT going to come out?

    Some thoughts on the Pre App.

    During my initial login, I had to disable WIFI to successfully login. Thoughts?

    Also, Decrypting blobs in a note is needed! I don’t think you have a bug system, so here’s my public comment :)

    Finally, does the pre version support SSL for us premium users?
    Thanks,
    Joe

    I’ve been really interested in building an app for these things. I heard the guy who created the fart app is banking hard.

    I was hoping for an app for Palm OS. Yes, I know it is old and outdated, but there are a lot of Treo’s and Centro’s out there (millions) and the mobile web version is limited in it’s functionality.

    Thanks.

    Looking forward to an Evernote app for Android as well… I have to think there was some kind of incentive, financial or otherwise, coming from Palm. Something like the Pandora dealie?

    Looking forward to an native app for ANDROID too, and I pay for it, if it is necessary. The browsersolution is not a solution…

    At this moment a Android-App is available, I will register the Premium-Account in the same moment.

    Although this seems to be the bug list, it doesn’t seem like there has been any corporate response. Still, I wanted to comment that, when using Evernote on my brand new Pre, if I leave the program open for too long, clicking on a note opens the note but then I get an error – essentially I have no more access to my notes and I can’t add any either. I have to either logout and log back in, or I have to close and restart the program. Does anyone know what is happening and how I can fix this?

    Thanks!

    Android… we need an android app. How hard can it be?

    Does the app for the Palm Pre sync and store your notes on the Pre? If not, what happens if you need to access your notes and you don’t have a signal (some buildings, basements, and airplanes)?

    It would be great if the Evernote notes were sync’d to the Pre, just like on the computer.

      @Dave Currently, notes are not stored locally on the Pre. You do need a web connection in order to search your notes.

    I need this for Palm Treo 650. There are millions of gsm and cdma Palm Treos, and a few Sprint palm pres.

    This app is working pretty good for me once I figured out that to sort my notes simply involved typing text. I kept looking for a search field, nope, just start typing.

    First thing I want is a text only view. Also the ability to sort notes by notebook.

    Will lock up on next use if I did not log out. Looking forward to updates.

    Thanks for supporting the pre.

    I agree about the sync thing. The app is fairly useless, because if you have no signal, then you have no app.

    Also I keep getting these notices at random, when the app is not even launched: “Evernote is in online mode.” So, what, this app is constantly running and tugging on the battery? And all the while it’s not even connecting? Funny I should get that notice, as I’ve had EVDO connection for the last 24 hours.

    Easy solution: sync it to local storage, or at least have the option. Problem solved. Then it can connect at leisure to the Evernote server and I don’t have to see random notices about it.

    Sorry, but the app is worthless if I cannot decrypt information and look at it on my phone. If you haven’t fixed this in the last 6 months, it obviously isn’t a priority to you regarding Web OS users. Do you have any recommendations for other apps that include some encryption, password, etc? Even for a fee? Thanks.

    For those that keep getting the “Error: undefined” at login (I was getting this) – you need to change your password to a WEAK password.

    I obviously have a strong password because I am security concious. Turns out Evernote on the Pre doesn’t seem to like security concious people.

    (You can’t blame the Pre, I have plenty of other apps accepting strong passwords).
