Penultimate, one of the most popular handwriting apps for the iPad, has become part of the Evernote family – as in, Evernote has acquired the company that makes Penultimate.

Cocoa Box's Penultimate<http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/penultimate/id354098826?mt=8>, the beautifully simple handwriting app for iPad, has been one of our favorites pretty much since it came out two years ago, so we're very thrilled to announce that we've acquired the company and that Penultimate is now part of the Evernote family!

This looks like very good news for users of Penultimate and Evernote as well as for anyone looking around for a great notes and / or handwriting app for iOS. I especially like seeing this section of the Evernote announcement<http://blog.evernote.com/2012/05/07/evernote-acquires-penultimate/>:

Penultimate creator, Ben Zotto, is joining Evernote to head up future app development. Penultimate will stay a separate, elegant application and will get many much-requested Evernote-y improvements including full search and synchronization. Ben will also lead the effort to put handwriting and digital ink functionality into other Evernote products and platforms, so you'll see handwriting cross-pollination popping up everywhere.

Again, this sounds like great news for both of the existing apps – and also suggests that we may well see some exciting new apps come out of this acquisition.
