Japan’s largest mobile operator NTT DoCoMo is teaming-up with Evernote to bring the popular note-taking service to its customers. Best of all, DoCoMo’s users will get the Premium version of the service, which otherwise costs $50 a year, for free!
As part of the deal, the carrier will pre-install Evernote app on every Android smartphone it sells, while also offering the same treatment to its existing users — they’ll get to download the application and get the accompanying Premium service for free as well!
Love how it sounds and I love Evernote. Hopefully, DoCoMo won’t be the only operator in the world to offer such a service to its customers. Sure, competition is super fierce in the Land of the rising Sun, but carriers across Europe and North America are heavily fighting for the customers too. Keeping our fingers crossed a practice like this will be repeated elsewhere can’t harm, that’s for sure.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
