Evernote’s Rafe Needleman interviews Adam Lin, president of iHealth, on the state of the art in health and fitness monitoring hardware. iHealth makes blood pressure monitors and other body sensors that send data to Evernote.
Our driving goal at Evernote is to help make people smarter. That’s a big mission, and we never planned on pursuing it alone. In 2008 we opened up the Evernote APIs to developers to see what other smarts-enhancing apps smart people could build. It’s time to take things further.

Soon, you may be able to buy a refrigerator with Evernote built into it. Really. At CES, Samsung showed off a prototype version of its T9000 fridge, which included an embedded touchscreen computer running a custom version of Evernote.
Reactions to the T9000 ran strong. Some people thought it was a good idea and got the benefit. Others saw it as ridiculous excess. After all, if you can afford the high-end T9000, chances are you’ll have a nice smartphone in your pocket when you’re standing in front of it in your kitchen. But the product struck a nerve.

It’s clean and simple, which is one of the reasons we like it here. You just pick a resource from one of the [...]
On November 15, I hosted the first Evernote Talks event. This is our new series where we get together with Evernote users and fans and talk about the core elements of the Evernote experience. For this first event, the focus was on design. It was a good time to cover this topic, since we’ve just [...]

And there are new versions of Skitch for Windows (desktop | Windows 8) and Android. Evernote partners have also recently [...]
With the new version of the smartphone app mysms, you can now save your text message conversations to Evernote. It’s a very useful addition to a cool tool. Back in September, Martin Pansy, managing director of the company behind mysms, approached me to talk about his app and a potential integration with Evernote. He pitched [...]
Part of my job at Evernote is helping developers who are building new apps and want to integrate those apps into Evernote. That’s what my “platform advocate” title means. But another cool part of my job is scouring the startup landscape for new ideas. Every startup tells a story, after all, and most of them [...]
