Yesterday, Evernote announced a partnership with Eye-Fi to bring direct uploads to your Evernote account of any pictures you take with your digital camera sporting an Eye-Fi WiFi capable SD card. Effectively, this turns your digital camera into a portable scanner.

You take pictures of business cards, whiteboards, and documents with your digital camera, the images are automatically uploaded to your Evernote account via a WiFi connection next time your camera and your Eye-Fi card are in range, and Evernote performs OCR (optical character recognition) on the files uploaded, making them searchable via Evernote's web interface or the Evernote desktop client. Evernote put together a video highlighting how this works, embedded below. 

A full video tour of Evernote, for those of you who are not familiar with the service, can also be seen below.
