There’s a new version of cloud-based note-taking tool Evernote for the iPhone and iPod touch, and it supports the multitasking features added by Apple’s iOS 4 software.
Evernote has three million users to recommend it, but no one with a great idea can rest on his or her laurels forever, so the company behind the tool has been updating the app with new features periodically. A couple examples: Evernote 2.0 added landscape typing mode and an in-app web browser about a year ago, and Evernote 3.2 added miscellaneous offline features for those times when 3G service isn’t available.
Now we’re up to 3.3.5, and this update is mostly about multitasking. Apple limits the things apps can do in the background, but Evernote is taking advantage of the ground that Apple’s given it by downloading new note headers and syncing new notes with the server even if the app has been put to sleep in favor of another one.
The best new feature is the ability to continuously record voice notes regardless of what app you’re actively using. Now you don’t have to stop recording to check something that’s pertinent to your note by visiting another app.
None of these features will be available to the public until iOS 4 launches on the iPhone 3G S this Monday though. iPhone 4 users will have iOS 4 the day they pick up their phones — which will be this Thursday if they’re bold enough to brave the lines. Multitasking won’t hit the iPad until this fall, unfortunately.
