Evernote and Eye-Fi Open Up New Possibilities for the Digital Camera
Digital Snapshots Containing Text Can Be Instantly Captured, Synched and Made Searchable Across Desktops, the Web and Mobile Phones
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA and SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - December 10, 2008) - Evernote and Eye-Fi today announced a partnership to
transform the digital camera into an essential tool for combating
information overload and helping people remember everyday details. Users of
Eye-Fi's wireless SD memory card can now automatically upload photos from
their digital camera directly into their Evernote accounts, where images
containing printed or handwritten text will be indexed and made searchable.
Evernote, a service designed to help individuals remember everything, adds
the images to the user's collection of notes and memories and makes them
available on their desktop, the Web or a mobile phone, where they can be
searched and organized.
"Evernote helps consumers capture and search for anything they want to
remember from their real and digital lives -- from business cards and white
board notes, to wine labels and receipts," said Phil Libin, CEO of
Evernote. "There has never been a simpler way to get high-quality images
into Evernote than with a point-and-shoot digital camera. It literally
takes one step: snap the photo and Eye-Fi does the rest automatically."
Beginning today, users can benefit from the speed and simplicity of
uploading hi-resolution photos through Eye-Fi and tap into Evernote's
convenience of searching and cataloging the images. Now, no extra steps
are required between taking a picture and having it become automatically
searchable through Evernote.
"Eye-Fi aims to make it easier to capture and share life's memories," said
Jef Holove, CEO of Eye-Fi. "Now we're helping people use their cameras to
capture everyday information they want to remember. The combined power of
Eye-Fi and Evernote means that now anyone who owns a digital camera can
have a photographic memory."
Eye-Fi's products range from $79-$129 and can be purchased at Apple Retail
Stores, Best Buy and major online retailers. Users can subscribe to
