Sooo Shiny: Evernote for the Palm Pre

Product updates | By Andrew Sinkov
 

palmpre

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.

    +1 for android… I too would be paying if android was supported

    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.

    • Andrew Sinkov

      @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.
