Evernote gets Eye-Fi connectivity
Evernote gets Eye-Fi connectivity. Shoot a picture with a digital camera, and it’ll automatically upload the pictures to Evernote, where it’ll recognize text in the picture and make it searchable. Can’t tell from the video if they have geo-tagging it as well, but this is definitely a nice addition to EverNote.

and install the plug-in. After you get it installed, it should take you to the Settings->Chat menu where you can configure your camera.
If you don’t see it, Google hasn’t activated it in your account yet. Be patient. It wasn’t on for me earlier this evening and when I checked again, it was up and running.
Video With a Still Camera
