Penultimate News

While I can't remember the last time I did any amount of pen-to-paper long-form writing , it's hard to refute that Evernote's free Penultimate for the iPad is a rather attractive concoction.

Evernote's Penultimate app for iPad has today been updated with a number of new notebook features and new sync options.

The iPad's many uses include turntable, toddler flypaper, and bird catapult. But when you couple it with an external keyboard, it turns into a surprisingly versatile writing machine.

In this final installment of our Evernote series, we'll look at some apps you can use to extend Evernote's functionality.

Evernote CEO Phil Libin is talking up some ambitious plans. The company will soon launch some sort of co-branded hardware devices with partners, he said, and one day it will build its own gadgets altogether.
