That'd be nice, as it gets around the limits of both products.<p>Truth be told, I'm now hooked on OneNote. I have ample free storage without bandwidth limits, and the client apps are really nice.
Just to acquire the users maybe. And perhaps to get some top Evernote people working for them (if they haven't jumped the ship long ago).
The tech itself seems so bloated. I doubt if there's much on the backend that could be salvaged? Part-by-part it seems like google is much better at all key features (search, realtime sync). They might have some interesting OCR+analysis stuff I guess?<p>But then again I doubt google wants to throw so many users at a product that's not ready for prime-time yet. You don't want to throw a large crowd of late adopters at an early stage product.
There's nothing to merge. The technology really isn't anything proprietary like a new machine learning classification algorithm. They'll just inherit lots of freeloaders
