They say there's no rest for the wicked, but we can't find too much evil about the folks at Evernote, especially when they keep giving us cool updates to their products and even making them free!
Evernote has a double blast of news for Thursday, with a new version 2.0 update to the Evernote Hello app for iOS as well as some exciting news for those who have thus far been too cheap to spring for the company's Penultimate app.
First up is Evernote Hello, an iPhone app designed to help users remember everything about the people they meet. With the all-new, completely redesigned and "quite magical" version 2.0 now available, the app promises to accomplish those goals better than ever.
In addition the completely new look, Evernote Hello has added more ways to remember people, including add manually, add from calendar, business card scanning for Premium members and Hello Connect, which allows users to exchange contact info with groups of Evernote Hello users of almost any size.
Switching gears to the iPad, Evernote is introducing version 4.0 of the popular digital handwriting app Penultimate, adding new Evernote features with a refreshed user interface and an attractive new price of absolutely nothing.
No, we're not referring to a stripped-down version of Penultimate -- like all of its other apps, Evernote has made the app free, while continuing to offer the same pen and paper experience that made it a best-selling app in the first place.
While Evernote itself has been a sharing option in Penultimate for some time, the service is now a core part of the app, also bringing its powerful search features and the ability to access your notes from everywhere thanks to syncing with Evernote.
Evernote Hello for iPhone 2.0 and Penultimate for iPad 4.0 are now available from the App Store; the latter requires iOS 6.0 or higher, but the company notes that iOS 5 support will return with the next update.
