I’ll mention two features I find useful that others haven’t mentioned. First, any images in a note are run through text recognition on Evernote’s servers, and thus become searchable. I used that quite a bit this summer – after a research group meeting (at which I was often writing on the board, and therefore not taking notes myself), I would use my iPhone to take snapshot notes of the writing on the blackboard and put those into Evernote. Surprisingly, the text recognition was pretty good even for hand-written notes on a blackboard, so that helped me find things later, e.g. who had agreed to which tasks on our collective to-do list on the blackboard.

Second, you can put a note directly into Evernote by sending it to a custom e-mail address associated with your Evernote account. So if a useful bit of information arrives by e-mail and you want it to go into your note system, you can just forward that e-mail to your Evernote address and it shows up as a note.

Per Angelle’s question, I’m pretty sure Evernote now has a feature where you can store your info locally on your computer, so it doesn’t need to be in constant contact with the internet for you to find your files. I don’t think they have this yet for the iphone application yet, though.
