Evernote for iOS Updated to Convert Business Cards to Contacts, New Presentation Mode and More

Evernote for iOS has been updated to include a new business card scanning feature that lets you take a picture of any business card and convert it to an editable contact note. This feature is for premium members only, but free users can try 5 business cards.

In addition, there is also a new Presentation Mode for premium users that lets you use AirPlay to present notes to an audience. Free users can try the feature for up to 14 days.
