First thoughts on the Evernote Web public beta and the incredible search technology

First thoughts on the Evernote Web public beta and the incredible search technology

The Evernote application has been compared with and seemed to play second fiddle to OneNote as a note-taking application on Tablet PCs, but I think their latest development will go a long ways towards making Evernote the first choice for mobile enthusiasts. The public beta of Evernote Web has begun and I am lucky enough to be included in this public testing phase. As you can see on the Evernote Web site, you will now be able to use Evernote on your Mac, Windows PC, Linux PC, and various mobile devices. While this cross-platform functionality is the big selling point for using Evernote "in the cloud", the functionality that continues to amaze me is their text recognition technology.

T-Mobile announces new Talk Forever service for Seattle and Dallas, no home phone now needed

T-Mobile announces new Talk Forever service for Seattle and Dallas, no home phone now needed

Just one week after T-Mobile cut the price of their HotSpot @Home service, they announced a new service option for those of us in Seattle and Dallas. T-Mobile's new HotSpot @Home Talk Forever service option is an additional US$10 over the new US$10 HotSpot @Home service, but as I understand it you could also choose just one or the other if you don't want both services. The new Talk Forever service requires a new HotSpot @Home wireless router with home phone connection (US$50 with 2-year contract) because you connect your standard 5.8 GHz home phone (or you can buy a V-Tech one from them for US$59.99) and use T-Mobile as your primary home phone service provider.

AT&T and Palm launch the GSM Palm Centro for US$99.99

AT&T and Palm launch the GSM Palm Centro for US$99.99

Back in October I had the chance to check out the Palm Centro for Sprint and thought it was a very good device for the new smartphone buyer. Since that time I know several people that have purchased one and love the device. AT&T and Palm today announced the availability of the Palm Centro from AT&T. The device has the same design and specifications as the Sprint Palm Centro, but unfortunately lacks a 3G radio. It is a quad-band GSM device with support for the EDGE data network. The first model available is the Glacier white model with green highlights with an Obsidian black model becoming available in about a month. The device is available today starting at US$99.99 with 2-year service agreement and for those looking to move from a feature phone to a smartphone I think this is a decent choice available at a good price.
