Evernote for Android Tablets offers the same note-taking functionality -- such as audio recording and social note-sharing -- of its other applications, but does so with a new-to-Evernote interface that emphasizes visual note browsing.
With the new interface, notes appear on the home screen in a Snippet View. Android tablet app users can then use the left-hand side bar to tab through the notebooks, tags and shared notebooks view options.
The startup is also enabling application users to create and edit rich text notes. The much-requested feature is now available to all Android users -- not just tablet owners -- who will see a a new bar with text editing and formatting options above the keyboard.
There's even a second, larger Evernote Android widget now accessible from the home screen. "In addition to letting you jump to core Evernote features, you now see snippets of your recently-accessed notes. This means you no longer need to launch Evernote in order to find a recent note, just tap on the note in the widget," Evernote's VP of marketing Andrew Sinkov says.
Evernote for Android Tablets looks to be a slick re-skin of the Evernote experience. The fresh interface design represents the direction the startup will take with all future tablet app releases.
