Skitch is one of the best drawing apps you'll ever have on your android or iPad.  It lets you draw new pictures, or over the top of another.  It's dead simple interface means there's no learning curves. 


Another tie in great for getting information on evernote is clearly.  It's a browser extension that lets you add a webpage to your notes.  It's extremely helpful, because it "cleans up" the webpage before it's saved as a note.  These means you don't have to cut copy and paste.  It's also very handy when you want to print an article for physical use.

These are just two examples of the ever expanding collection available in the "trunk".
