Taking notes while on the go is not easy. It’s tough to find a pen and piece of paper all the time. And after you jot down the note, its easy to misplace where you put it. Microsoft had a post-it note program that worked well for a while where you would simply hit a shortcut key and then you can write the post-it note. Then, it would appear on a yellow sticky note square on your screen or you can minimize it. Now, with so many mobile devices and work and home computers, the electronic post-it note seemed to lose its luster due its inability to be available at all times.
Now, Evernote has transcended the electronic post-it note by allowing e-notes to be available to all electronic devices, such as PCs, macs, iPhones, and Blackberries. All you do is jot down your note; then it syncs your info across your computers and phones for you to look at later. You can try Evernote for free for up to 40MB per month or pay only $5 per month for up to 500MB. A cool feature is being able to take pictures from your phone and then later having Evernote decode it for text in instances of business cards or magazine pages. Best of all, you don’t have to be a computer support specialist to know how to work it.
