I love Evernote and use it every day, but I’m sick of them, as good as they are at everything else, dragging their feet on ink support for iOS. Buying Skitch last year, and allowing you to import from other sources doesn’t quite cut it. 

They have always said in their podcasts that, since iOS doesn’t natively support rich text and ink editing (it’s web kit only for native editing), they wouldn’t implement their own solution. I guess they got tired of being the only ones who couldn’t or wouldn’t, because many developers have cracked this nut over the last two years. Now that they own Penultimate’s notetaking code, I hope they will implement that part of the app directly into Evernote for the iPad. 

It would probably be smart on Evernote’s part to keep Penultimate alive as a stand-alone app, as well, but I just hope they don’t go the cheap route like they did with Skitch, and make you export from one to other. Only time will tell. I know one thing. I will be downloading Penultimate today, regardless.
