Evernote brings Context feature to Android and Windows

Evernote debuted in October a feature they call Context to iOS and Mac. What Context does is it pulls content from different sources and then displays these on your screen. The sources include everything from your old notes, your co-workers’ notes, as well as websites like The Wall Street Journal, TechCrunch, and Fast Company. Now, Android and Windows Phone users who have Premium and Business accounts on Evernote will gain access to Context.

If you worry about having your information shared with these different sources, Evernote assures its users that it doesn’t share information to any of the publishers about you and your account.
