Chris, many thanks; I’ve actually entered my e-mail at the Evernote website for the related announcements but have received no news as yet. I assume that they’ll probably announce it when it’s official.

The Mac world might be competitive, but not necessarily the cross-platform one, as yet. Yet convergence is a rather unstoppable trend; being able to connect to everything from everywhere, i.e. to whatever info from whatever platform. Everrnote is moving that way by providing a main Windows (and now Mac) product, a Pocket PC version and a web interface. The Evernote ‘vision’, as presented at the website, includes being able to input images sent via e-mail or other systems from cell phones, for example. I.e., easy input and retrieval later on through its integrated OCR, time logging, filters etc.

I have the feeling that more and more applications will be providing cross-platform compatibility and/or a web interface. The ones that don’t will eventually find themselves at a disadvantaged position. Unfortunately, this probably means the majority of software discussed at this forum.

Cheers
