I've been using it for the last week, and I actually prefer it to Notetaker HD. Most of the features are free, but you can get handwriting recognition for an $8.99 upgrade.
Allegedly it outputs to Evernote and Dropbox, but it's not yet clear to me how it works. Still, highly recommended.
This could potentially fill a gap. Apps such as Trunk.ly and Pinboard will save your Twitter faves. But I've not seen a web app that can usefully save items from Facebook.
If you're on the iPad, of course, Flipboard does this quite well.
I love Evernote's penchant for constantly evolving their products. I love their commitment to a quality, cross-platform family of products. But it seems like they "completely revamp" things an awful lot. Maybe the lack of UI focus and consistency is the price we pay for having a free, bad-ass notebook on multiple gadgets.
So with the services now out there making people less reliant on SMS, what was going to happen? People were going to want to downgrade their plans. Who wants to pay $20 a month when you’re using only a handful of messages? Why not pay $10? Well, now you can’t. You can either pay $20 for unlimited, or have no plan and pay AT&T’s ridiculous per-message rate.
AT&T knows that most people are not going to chose the latter. Again, we’re not to the point yet where people will be fully comfortable letting go of SMS. Hell, all of the services I mentioned use it as a backup in one way or another.
Think of it this way: unlimited SMS is heroin. The $10 a month limited plan is methadone which you could have used to wean yourself off. AT&T has just cut off the methadone supply. They’re daring you to go cold turkey. Most won’t be able to.
And maybe they deserve it. But Siegler does omit a key bit of information: if you're already an AT&T customer you can keep your existing plan. Indeed, AT&T killed off their $5.00/200 plan in January. But I've still got it. No untoward billing issues or unexplained increase in my bill.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
I'm really glad to hear it. I had forsaken Zotero because it was linked to Firefox—and continuing to use Firefox was untenable because it had become so sluggish and old hat.
But part of Zotero's facelift includes a stand-alone client and integration with other browsers such as Chrome and Safari. I'm excited about this.
