Designing and experimenting with circuits?

Evernote
Price: Free
Platform: Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone 7, iOS (iPad and iPhone)
The Android Evernote app has received an extensive upgrade — one that brings with it a completely redesigned look and UI, making it eminently more usable. The home page now has one-tap icons for creating new notes, snapshots, recordings and attachments, and everything is really simple to navigate and find. It's the app it should have been all along.
There's no news on a similar update for iOS.
