Mark your calendars. July 14th will be a big day for Evernote.
We’re making an announcement about something new. Something we’ve been working on for a little while. Something that will change the way you interact with Evernote, and, maybe even, change how you think about Evernote.
What is it? Well, you’ll just have to wait and see.
Party down
To celebrate our big announcement, we’re throwing a party in San Francisco. Come out and join us. You’ll get to see what’s new, meet the team, check out some really cool stuff, and unwind with a drink. What could be better? Oh, and there may be some fun giveaways and surprises, too.
Event details
July 14th, 6pm – 9pm

Please, please… folders ???
We need it.
Andre Cunha
Folders? Youve got tags and notebooks…
Ben
Nestable Folders? ZOMG you’re the best!!!
Marcus
sweeeeeeeet
Carter
You guys are horrible, horrible teases!
Andy M
I am looking forward to finding out! Should we start a comment thread guessing what it is?
My guess is… Hand writing notes through the iPad.
Smorris
This would be spectacular! I am a mechanical designer, and can barely talk without drawing things.
i’ve been fiddling with every note/drawing program out there, and have to email from my iPad or iPhone via PDF to Evernote. There’s got to be a better way!
Tying notes to the calendar ala ToDo would be a nice option.
I’m also hoping for password protection on the mobile versions, as I keep a bunch of personal info in Evernote, and don’t like locking the entire Pad/Pod.
It’s gonna be a long week until we find out!
Vinnie Harris
Where’s the party in Austin? I want to party and celebrate with Evernote peoples! I want to know what the surprise is!
Dave
Sure hope it’s a revamped web interface.
Nejc
Tell us, TELL US!!!
Andre Cunha
Ok this is not fair. Tell me by e-mail, i promise I wont share.
LogopolisMike
I just put this on my calendar and I live in Chicago. God, I’m such an Evernote dork.
Glenn
At least your on the same continent Mike!…..It’s in my diary and I’m in Australia!
Deboni
And me, I am an Evernote fan from Sao Paulo, Brazil
Alex
… South Africa. Although I’m *from* the USA…. that counts right?
Amy
My guess: An Evernote Brain Chip. Easily access any notebook just by thinking of it! They called Evernote your second brain, and now it’s literal.
Patrick Santana
I looking forward for the news ….. Great!!!
Daniel
Next time, don’t ruin the announcement with such an obvious spoiler in the image. I can clearly see that the “new” thing under the cloth is … a box! Product leaked.
In all seriousness though, I have been using Evernote more and more lately and I’m excited to see what this will be! Top wishlist items:
1) a full-on content editor (more robust word processing, styles and layout) in all versions of the Evernote client
2) new and awesome integration with 3rd party systems like Highrise, Google calendar, etc. allowing multiple Evernote notes to be related directly to specific calendar events, contacts, etc.
Soon we shall see…
Saivan
AMEN to that,
Rich text editing with the ability to wrap images would also be a welcome addition
(on the iPad as well as the desktop)
Ahhh speculation
Tony Steward
We ave ways ov makn you TALK! Yah Ha Ha
Seriously guys love EN just wish I could twist your arm every now & then.
Madara
It’s a box! Dropbox compatibility? Something better than Dropbox? Even better!
Craig
What’s in the box huh…. A linux version?
A linux version that is pre-installed on some fancy new tablet?
A linux version on a netbook?
A desktop PC running the linux version?
Make it happen Evernote, make it happen.
isral Duke
please please please let it be better iPad note editing and drawing tools!
BillMo
Think, people. The photo clearly shows a large cube underneath the veil. What’s shaped like that? I think it’s a pygmy elephant in a cage.
Mr Wakiki
these reminders are great
Eric
Diigo-like web highlighting/annotation and bookmarking integration? And it works with Apple Spotlight and Google indexing on my PC? That would be epic. One app for everything I want to keep/remember.
Sheila
Out of left field – task management(to-do list)
Alisha
Maybe it’s a companion cube? I promise to never throw it into the fire!
Edward
Is Evernote pregnant?
grehorst
I know I know! Every premium subscription comes with a small table and a big red table cloth!!
John McLaughlin
Tease!
Seriously — My guess:
Speech to Text — Voice memos are only marginally useful right now but if you could have audio automagically converted to searchable text — now that is something! It also fits the whole ‘image to text’ search feature for pictures & pdfs.
-john
Milan (Brussels)
A better way for formatting text and tables?
Arnomad
Something like some Dropbox functionalities i bet!
Matthew
I’ve got it … Evernote’s going to start selling premium subscriptions in a cube box at stores
Matthew
Just a thought … please make it a feature all users can use: desktop, mobile, free, premium…
Tom
Is it a coming out party?
Jon
Wow, I’m surprised we are 27 comments deep and I am the first to guess it’s recorded voice recognition and searchable voice notes (most likely from a partnership). Crossing my fingers! It would be even cooler if it translated your voice notes into text and imcluded both the text and original recording in the note.
Rob Parnell
Well, I hope they don’t hookup with Jott’s transcription. Over a year ago, it was great and worked fantastic – no restrictions or “fancy complex business models,” in Jott.
Then, Nuance bought them, I just canned it two months ago. So horrible and worthless!! People in India transcribe your hard notes, then mark “cannot understand,” when feel tired working.
=================
Yes, I am betting on the Dropbox. Mentioned strongly in the Podcasts. Plus, a “true Evernote client” for BlackBerry is what I need! Don’t care about “on my phone notes,” and all that. However, would just love a “great editor” and shows text appropriately (as possible / if compatible enough? component) to the BlackBerry client, too. (new?!)
PS. Dropbox announced “just about” to release a BlackBerry client, too. Coincidence? Probably
Lindsey
If it’s more memory I’ll go crazy!!!! Loves me some Evernote!
RobH
Symbian S60 3rd Edition compatibility!! For my Nokia E71? :0)
Dan L
I think it will be true calendar functions, perhaps integrated with Gcal. I think many of the functions others are suggesting are coming too, eventually, but true calendaring would fundamentally change Evernote from a trusted, ubiquitous capture tool to a full scale time/project management tool. Oh great elephant, please, let it be.
Jeff Andrews
Hoping for the ability to mark-up and annotate PDF documents…draw, highlight, notes…
Nijat
For ipad : handwriting, formatting and folders.
Would make evernote irreplacable.
Nick
Dropbox-like features? for those of us that can’t get rid of the concept of files?

http://blog.evernote.com/2010/04/27/thinkwasabi-interview-with-evernote-ceo-phil-libin/
I like Jon’s idea too…but don’t they have that integration via reQall?
What about the ability to use Evernote by creating your own workflow (helpful for all those GTDers out there)?

I’m with Amy: My guess: An Evernote Brain Chip

Dreaming about powerful todo.
Love Evernote!
Magnus
I absolutely agee. ( with the need for a a to-do tool as well as the love for Evernote that is ) Evernote is a great tool for storing and categorising information. But the next logical step would be to look at what actions this information should inspire. Right now the to-do function is far from straightforward. I’m even using the quite backward method of creating a to-do tag for myself, as tags are easier to find.
Vance
Yes, a real To Do function would be nice!! And a better Android app!
Eugene
*humbly
reminders?
Dave
I’m absolutely not kidding even a little bit when I say this: I will cry with joy if this is folders/sub-notes.
Larry
If it’s just an iPad client, I will cry. That won’t change a thing for me, I’m an Android user!
Please be something awesome!
Shelley
I’ll be crying right along with you. I’m an iPhone user, but not an iPad user (and won’t likely be for a while,if ever, as I really can’t justify the purchase). If this big tease turns out to be iPad only, I’ll definitely be shedding tears of woe AND frustration. However, I don’t think the nice folks at Evernote would be that mean — I think the big announcement will be about something that will affect all their users. Fingers crossed that it is, as others have speculated, better ways to edit tables and text.
Steve Rose
How exciting. Please don’t change Evernote too much though as I would be lost without it!
Steve Silverwood
Hate to miss it but I’m stuck here in earthquake country, won’t be able to be up there for the big event. Someone quaff a couple of brews in my stead up there in toasting whatever the new arrival may be.
//Steve//
Arthur Vanderbilt
I am guessing transcription or at least searchable voice notes.
I would prefer being able to link from one note to another.
Rob Parnell
I agree Arthur,
Note Linking!!! So need it! Was never an issue with the Evernote of old.
Maybe, Dropbox will make it all possible. As long as, we all have free Dropbox accounts & stay under that 2 gig amount.
A funky URL activating “this note,” is here, would be great.
** Besides a highlighting tool. = The highlighter is so big to me, I would “turn off coloring text white,” for it! (Can’t read white text on white.)
Bobby B.
I guess my top 3 wishes for it would be:
1st – Sharing on the rest of the clients (My girlfriend is now loving evernote!)
2nd – Voice recognition
3rd – iPad Handwriting recognition
Sharing sees to be the only thing big enough in my list, but I still don’t think it would be as big a deal as they are talking.
Anxious to see!!!
Lise
My guess is transcription of voice notes to text. But I’d also like to see better ability to format notes and folders/bookshelves for Notebooks!!!!!
Also, if I RSVPed for the event, can’t I just come with the PDF of the ticket in EverNote??? Are you really going to make me print it?
Joseph
Since it’s on a “random” day, i’d guess something that ties into Bastille Day (July 14) somehow? Yay for the French!
Allen
I’m ashamed of all of you so-called teckies! It’s a cube. duh! The Borg have arrived on earth and picked Evernote to start the assimilation.
Resistance is futile! Evernote (and the Borg) rules!
Bobby B.
So what time will we know what’s up? 6pm pacific? Or will we know earlier in the day? This is like waiting for an Apple keynote! I love Evernote!
