Evernote Notes Limits


I didn’t look down far enough when I noted Evernote’s bandwidth limits the other day. It also has limits on the number of notes with separate counts for audio, inknotes, and images (photos). The limits seem pretty generous for the free account. So, I’m not going to worry about it. I wonder what their for-fee service will be like though.

Staying Away from Windows Live for Windows Mobile

There is no way I am going to install the just released…

Just Released: Windows Live for Windows Mobile

Why? The first listed so-called feature: Synchronize Live contacts with your contacts on the device. My Hotmail/Live Mail contacts list is a mish-mash of MSN (Live) Messenger contacts and other contributors I can’t remember. I do not want it accidentally polluting my less than pristine but still useful contacts list on my WiMo smartphone that has been maintained in various forms for nearly 20 years (starting with the MS-DOS based HP 95LX). And, looking at the rest of the feature list…

# Synchronize your Live email (msn, hotmail, live)
# View graphics, web links and contact photos in emails
# Respond to emails with voice recordings
# Upload photos to your Windows Live Spaces

…I don’t see anything particularly compelling to me.

Evernote Monthly Usage Limit


I haven’t been using Evernote heavily for the past few weeks. However, I updated the Windows Mobile client on my TyTn this evening and noticed the Menu – Account Usage item and clicked on it. You can see from the screen cap above that there is a 40MB per month bandwidth limit. This is probably pretty reasonable for a free service. But, you may want to keep it in mind if you start using Evernote with audio of visual media (which would increase bandwidth requirements).
