\nSilicon valley-based tech start-up Evernote<\/a>, which has introduced services for note-taking and archiving for PCs and smartphone devices, announced new partnerships with seven Japanese companies on Wednesday.
\nEvernote CEO Phil Libin is now visiting Japan, and he says, “Our Japanese users share almost 18% of our total user accounts, which is the second place in the order of our user count by country.\u00a0 The first book for Evernote was published in the U.S. just a few weeks ago, but in Japan, eight books have been available for Evernote users.”
\nEvernote shook hands with:
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nGakken<\/a><\/strong> (a publishing company producing educational toys)
\n<\/strong>They provide content of science experiments for adults for Evernote’s dynamic catalog feature called the Trunk.\u00a0 (cf.: Otona-no-Kagaku “Science for Adults”<\/a>)
