Carlos Jeurissen found
some interesting hints about a new Google Drive app called Keep. There are multiple references to Google Keep in the GDrive code, including some URLs like:
https://drive.google.com/keep/?note. In fact, the codename for Google Keep is "memento" and the MIME type for Google Keep files is "application/vnd.google-apps.note". Obviously, Google Keep is a replacement for Google Notebook, a service that
has been discontinued back in 2009.
Carlos also found
the service's icon and
a short URL that redirects to the Play Store page for a non-existent Google Keep app.
Google has a cool Chrome extension called
Scratchpad. It's great for taking notes and it syncs with Google Docs. Let's hope that Keep is better than both Scratchpad and Google Notebook.
Update: Android Police has
some screenshots of the new service.
{ Thanks, Carlos. }
