Verdict

You can download a free (free version may have small ads) Evernote app for most popular platforms. The desktop software I tested on OS X does a great job capture and organize notes. I can easily read my notes from my iPod Touch when I am on the move. Although the Free account only has 40MB storage, it’s enough for my personal use. I personally recommend it.
