#62Not really a fan of Moleskine's notebooks, but this is interesting. But, Evernote's Page Camera feature that was added to the iOS app does seem to work just fine with other paper (I tested Field Notes w/ graph paper). It's just 'optimized' for the paper in these notebooks, whatever that means.
for one, the paper has alignment dots that evernote uses to square the image perfectly even if the camera is held askew.
Can't a generalized line/grid detection algorithm be used to correct the skew from photos of any lined or squared note paper?
$25/notepad is way of the charts for the types of notes and sketches that I actually need a notepad for.

#64Only a fool would buy $25+ notebook. I'd rather play lottery.
quality is fractal; good, smooth acid-free paper that can take a wide variety of inks without smearing, discoloring, or bleeding through -- well constructed and durable. quality is worth paying for...
Moleskine notebooks are mediocre in paper quality, though, and not very consistent. You'll see variations based on which of their Chinese suppliers manufactured a particular notebook, but bleed through and feathering are generally sub par for the price.
They're nice and easy to find though, and the form factor's lovely.

#65I didn't even look through all the functionality before I made my purchase (#182).
I use Evernote for nearly everything I do. Task lists, projects, ideas, goals. Evernote saves me one of my most precious resources: time. I've worked Evernote into my daily workflow for getting things done.
And I have a stack of Moleskines I've used for reminders, sketches, random thoughts that I scratch down in a hurry throughout my day.
This is the perfect product for my everyday use. Looking forward to when they arrive (they will ship in October). I just wonder if I bought enough of them.

#66How is this different from taking notes on any physical paper and take a photo of it? My Galaxy SII camera takes real good pictures of papers. They are readable, good focused and sharp. I just see a marketing partnering stunt here?? Am I missing something?
Automatic color and contrast correction, handwriting recognition, automatic ordering of pages, and tagging/searching capabilities once they're in the app.

#68Sigh. Looks like Big Commerce (the store Evernote is using) stores passwords in plain-text or at least a reversible hash. They emailed me my password. :\

#69I've never gotten into Evernote, but have wanted to for a long time. I've bought these as a way of forcing myself to finally sit down and learn how to use it.
Does anyone know of a good intro guide to Evernote?
Re: Evernote Smart Notebook by Moleskine
#70I think this is really quite neat. I used to be a heavy user of Evernote, but I found it difficult to reconcile my handwritten notes (90% of my notes at work) with what I'd have in Evernote. As a result, I stopped using Evernote. I always hoped I'd be able to find a good way to record my notes digitally (e.g., iPad + stylus), but at the end of the day, taking notes with pen & paper always wins for me. This could very…
Since they are doing recognition of stickers, isn't it also possible for you to invent your own 'tag' and train Evernote to recognise it? Then they could charge for the app and you won't be stuck with recurring sticker purchases.
