I do love Evernote, but the WM client is pretty bare. It seems to depend on IE to actually look up information on notes, plus I haven’t seen how to tag notes when I take them on my phone.
In short, it’s great for taking a quick note, but still needs more features. I’d love to have the thing sync so that I can look up info when I am in a no coverage area, for example. I’d love to see some more development on this app.
