Do you ever wish you could turn your hand written notes into a digital form that you could carry with you? You're in luck. According to a Mashable article, Evernote and 3M have entered into a partnership which will turn Post-it sticky-notes into digital notes. Emily Price explains that these Post-it notes become digitized through a feature in Evernote's iOS 7 app called "Post-it Note Camera". This new feature will work with any Post-it note, but 3M has created special packs of Post-it notes that come with a 30-day subscription to Evernote Premium. Now you can write down your grocery list on a sticky-note, digitize it, and share it with your spouse miles away.

Although I find the idea of digitizing Post-it notes unique and interesting, I don't believe this app is extremely useful. If I want a note to be digitized, why would I go through two steps? I could save time by just typing it out on my smartphone and sending it directly. Those who are fans of Evernote already have the option to share their notes with anyone within the app. I believe this app will be used more for entertainment rather than efficiency. There is even an app called FastEver Share that allows you to share your Evernote notes simply by "bumping" two iPhones together.
On the plus side, the Post-it Note Camera feature will come in handy for those uncomfortable with typing out notes on their smartphone or computer. Using this feature may just be pure fun. The app is able to distinguish which color sticky-note you are writing on and helps to organize your notes within the app. I will have to try this app out for myself before I completely knock it. Do you think this new feature will be a home-run, or will you stick to typing out your notes? Check out the poll at the end of my page!
