Evernote just announced the release of its native application for the Palm Pre. The company recently celebrated its 1 millionth user despite the note taking product's initial mixed reviews. The company hopes to boost their mobile audience with the Palm release and have already implemented location-based functionality in the Pre, Android and iPhone. At first glance this might seem like an unnecessary feature for a note taking tool, but there are just some instances where you have to ask Ashton Kutcher's immortal words, "Dude, where's my car?"

While lifecasting in mobile devices is not new, Nokia announced this morning that its S60 series phones will be shipping Qik. Starting with the Nokia N97, Qik will provide live video capture functionality for all Nokia's Symbian devices.

The application features a touch screen interface and supports 19 languages including Spanish, French, Chinese, Arabic, Hebrew and British English. (Because in the story of your life, real honour deserves a "u") Qik also supports nHD video and allows for widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio and 642 x 358 video. A sample video is available here.

Now that the Palm Pre has seen its first days in the sun, Sprint is offering a new mobile broadband plan for business users, offering 500 MB of data per month for $40.

Called the Connection Plan for Corporate Liable accounts, it appears that Sprint's enterprise plan is more data for the price than either Verizon or AT&T.

An upcoming feature for Android smartphones called "Live Folders" will deliver real-time web updates to the phone's homescreen.  Recently, this feature was revealed in a video of "Cupcake," a development branch of Google's mobile OS where new additions and changes are tested prior to being ported over to the main Android platform.

"There are 2.2 billion mobile phones in the developing world, 305 million computers but only 11 million hospital beds," said Terry Kramer, strategy director at British operator Vodafone at the Mobile World Congress held in Barcelona this week. That's why Vodafone, along with the United Nations and the Rockerfeller Foundation's mHealth Alliance have banded together to advance the use of mobile phones to better aid those in need of healthcare in the developing world.

This week, the mobile computing world revolves around the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Among some of the highlights today were the announcement of the second Android phone, as well as Yahoo's new mobile initiative, and the announcement of a partnership between Nokia and Skype that will bring Skype's VOIP client to Nokia's high-end N97 phone.

In August 2008, Twitter killed SMS updates for everybody outside of the U.S., Canada, and India. Users in the U.K. can now only send messages from their phones, but can't receive them anymore. The developers of Twe2 got frustrated by this and decided to take matters into their own hands. Thanks to Twe2's free service, you can now receive Twitter messages on your mobile phone close to anywhere in the world.

Over the weekend at the Schmoocon hacker conference in Washington D.C., security researcher Charlie Miller presented a new vulnerability in Google's mobile OS Android which allows hackers to remotely take control of the phone's web browser and related processes. If a phone became compromised, the hackers could gain access to the saved credentials stored in the browser and browser history. They could also snoop on your web transactions, even if encrypted.

The latest Mobile Advertising Report from market research agency GfK found that users of Apple's iPhone were more likely to recall and respond to ads than other mobile phone users. The reason for their higher response rates? Probably exposure. Although the report didn't come to this conclusion itself, it's somewhat apparent based on their findings. For example, iPhone owners are twice as likely to see mobile web ads and four times as likely to see an ad while playing a game on their phone or while using a location-based service.
