The App Store has a new version of Evernote for iPhone, iPad and iPod (3.4). This update includes a number of new features and incorporates the capabilities of iOS 4.2 firmware, expected in the near future. The new operating system adds support for multi-tasking on the iPad, which will be very useful when working with Evernote. You can switch between Evernote and other applications, returning exactly to the place of the application where you were before. But this version is not limited to support for iOS 4.2. Below you can read about new features that will be available today.
Select multiple images
Active users of the iPhone are often filled with a large number of photos, some of which periodically want to send to Evernote. Previously, this process could be somewhat tedious, but it is over. Now you can select several photos at one time and then either add them to a single note (maximum 5 images) or automatically create individual notes from each photo. To do this, click on the "Photo Film", and then on the icon "Send to ...", located in the left soft corner of the screen. Now you can select the desired photo.
A little tip: If you press and hold your finger on the image, the image will brighten, and you can select a group of shots with your finger right away. It is faster than clicking each image separately.

When you finish picking up your photos, select the desired button at the bottom of the screen to create either one or several notes. The ability to select multiple photos is also well suited for selecting pictures taken in the phone's HDR mode.
A little trick: If you press the "Film Roll" item with two fingers at once in Evernote, it will not open the "Camera Roll" folder, but the list of folders (that is, the level above). This saves you one click and can quickly navigate to the desired folder.
Improved audio notes
90 minute records
The maximum audio note length has increased in this version to 90 minutes. This makes Evernote a good tool for recording everything in a row: from recording discussions at a meeting to journalistic interviews.
Improved audio recording
Managing audio playback is now easier than ever. Not only can you play and pause right in the note (you no longer need to start Quicktime), but also control the playback of audio in Evernote through the buttons in the dock, as well as from connected headphones and hands-free devices.
Simplified file sending from other applications
iOS 4.2 allows applications to register themselves as file handlers of one type or another. Evernote is registered as a processor of such formats as PDF, TXT, WAV, MP3, HTML and several others. This means that you can transfer files to Evernote from any application that supports this feature.
... for example from Safari and Mail
Some file types (PDF, TXT, HTML) now received the "Open In ..." button in the upper right corner when viewing them. When you click on it, you will see Evernote as one of the recipients of the file. Opening a file in Evernote will create a new note in which this file will be placed as an attachment. To send an audio file to Evernote, press and hold your finger on the file.
... from applications of other developers
Program creators can implement similar functionality in their applications. Many of them already know how to send files to Evernote, and soon there will be other applications using the "Open In ..." function. So you can add notes to Evernote from anywhere.
Print from Evernote (iOS 4.2)
To create a paper copy of the note, you no longer need a computer — thanks to the wireless printing feature (AirPrint) of iOS 4.2. Evernote now supports this feature: when you open a note that you like, just click on the "Send to ..." button in it and select the "Print" option. In order for this feature to work, you need a Wi-Fi connection and the availability of a printer on the network that supports the Apple Bonjour protocol.
And further…
In each version of Evernote, we try to correct a number of seemingly invisible errors and omissions in order to make the service more convenient to use. And this version is no exception. And ahead of you is waiting for a lot of interesting things, so wait for the news.
