Evernote updates for iOS, adds tap anywhere to edit

[![Evernote updates for iOS, adds tap anywhere to edit][1] ][2]

If there's one thing that perpetually frustrates us about [Evernote][3] on mobile devices, it's the inability to simply start editing a note when we open it up. As is, you've got open one, then tap the edit button, _then_ you can navigate to the portion of the note you want to tweak. Not exactly the most efficient of workflows. That's finally changed, on the iPad and iPhone at least, and simply tapping anywhere in an entry will immediately open the editing tool, with the cursor exactly where you tapped. It may seem like a minor tweak, but it's one that should help address one of the primarily complaints about the note-taking service's mobile apps -- a lack of convenience. Now, we just hope the same update heads to Android devices. And sooner, rather than later.
