Evernote is not the only app that syncs to the cloud. Again, Springpad. With Springpad, you can share notes with your friends in the app, and see their notes that they have shared with you. You can also set reminders for tasks. If you are out shopping and see a book you're interested in reading, you can scan the barcode and the app will create a note for you that includes all the pertinent information about the book (where you can buy it, what it's about, etc.). You can save photos. You can organize and manage different notebooks.
