New Evernote App Built Around iPad 2’s Smart Cover

Evernote launched today a free new app designed entirely around the iPad 2’s Smart Cover. It’s called Evernote Peek.

The app is designed for learning and memorization, and works like flash cards. You point the app at some content in your Evernote account that you’d like to learn. Then the Smart Cover magic happens. Just lift up the first segment of the cover to see the question. Try to remember it, and lift up the next segment to see the answer. To move to the next question, just close the cover.

Evernote also gives you hints on how to best create notes to learn with the app. Brilliant.
