Evernote Premium account now has Document Search

imageThe amount of storage is not the only reason to go Premium with Evernote. Yes the prime reason to go premium is to increase your upload capacity but you also get the following benefits:

  • Larger upload capacity to 1GB each month
  • Offline Notebooks- easily access your data when you don’t have a network connection (iOS and Android only)
  • Share your notes with others – allows you easily share your notes with other members of your team
  • Each Note can be up to 100MB’s in size
  • On iOS and Android devices you can add a lock to the Evernote app to provide an extra level of security
  • When you attach a document in a note that are either office documents or PDF files they are fully searchable including scanned PDFs
  • Premium includes versioning. This is particularly helpful when sharing notes to be able to go back in history to previous versions of notes.
  • Images are also searchable if they contain text within the image.While this process is not limited to the Premium subscription but the images are processed faster. Evernote puts them at a higher priority if you have a Premium Account.
  • Last but not least you also get priority support. You will be sent to the front of the queue for a faster support response.

Do you need a Universal BIG Battery Solution

imageI saw this being discussed on Before You Buy and it really peaked my interest. One of the things that really caught my attention was that the charge lasts up to a year once it is fully charged. It will provide a decent charge for anything from a notebook to a phone. It will provide a laptop with anywhere from 2 –6 hours extended battery life, a netbook up to 8 extra hours, and a smart phone up to 42 extra hours. Use it for providing power to a hotspot or recharging any of your mobile devices. You can charge up to 3 devices at one time, can be recharged over and over again, is lightweight and has a 3 year  limited warranty.

Product Features

  • Portable, rechargeable battery for netbooks, tablets, and smartphones--just plug into USB port for instant power
  • Three outputs provide simultaneous charging of three devices at once; also great for gaming devices and MP3 players
  • Provides up to 5 extra hours of use for laptops, and up to 8 hours for netbooks
  • Comes with 6 tips to fit a wide range of devices

MSRP is $179 and it is one of the products that I think could help cut down on your mobile kit weight and provide a big benefit of offline power access.
