This is particularly useful for note taking while in meetings or anywhere that happen to be without your computer. If you have syncing turned on, your notes will automagically sync to your web based notebooks and with all of the mobile clients you have. You have to copy your EverNote database to the device. And then it was still cumbersome.ĮverNote 2.2 also had a Windows Mobile client, but it was a beta and also pretty barebones. Problem was, however, that I had to connect my mobile phone to my computer and sync the notebooks. It’s pretty bare bones and lacks most of OneNote’s features, but I did have my notebooks. Having the ability to carry around my OneNote information was something that I was already used to since OneNote has a Windows Mobile client. At first, I did not realize just how useful this web-centric nature of EverNote could be.

This web-centric nature is something that OneNote just does not do. Of course, you can also use pretty much any browser to access your notes on the web, if you sync them. There are EverNote clients for Windows, Mac, Windows Mobile, iPhone/iPod Touch and, recently, the Palm Pre. EverNote has transformed from a OneNote wannabe into a rather rich, web-centric, multi device note taking application. I’m a big fan of Microsoft OneNote, but I also use-as I have written about in the past-EverNote.
