  • Review: Evernote for Windows Phone

    I’m a big fan of Evernote, and I’ve been using it for a long time, on Windows Mobile, then Android, and have bemoaned the lack of an app for Windows Phone. Microsoft has included One Note in office mobile, and yes it syncs to your SkyDrive account, and syncs with it, but it does not offer the…

    I’m always trying to get a realistic handle on the uptake of Windows Phone, there have been poor reports on it’s uptake, and if you go into any local carrier store here in Australia, you will most probably receive a lack lustre response from sales staff towards the platform.
