Blackberry 10 to get Evernote integration

Published December 13, 2012 11:24am

Good news for Evernote users: your accounts on the productivity suite will be integrated into BlackBerry's upcoming BB 10 operating system.

App developer 89apps said the latest update includes a PIM API that lets developers integrate with the BlackBerry's core information apps such as email and calendar.

In a blog post, i said one of the PIM services is "Notebooks," which let a user create, store, and manipulate lists of actionable or non-actionable items.

"Yes, it looks like RIM has deeply integrated Evernote into BlackBerry 10′s Remember app. The Notes and Tasks you create on your device can optionally be synced to an Evernote account, and the rich database of information stored in your Evernote account will be accessible in a powerful BlackBerry 10 core app. This is the deep integration that BlackBerry people thrive on," it said.

It said an initial check of the documentation around the BlackBerry 10 Settings indicates the Evernote integration will be "system-wide."

"The account login is managed within the System Settings alongside your Email, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn accounts," it said.

89Apps said it is excited that Research In Motion is continuing the practice of "taking these standard system apps to the next level."

With "Remember," it said BlackBerry promises to take the standard Notes/Tasks app and integrate it with important cloud services for storing Notes, Tasks, and Images.

"We expect Remember and the Evernote integration are just one of the many features RIM will wow us with on January 30th," it said. — TJD, GMA News
