Myriad’s Remarkz HTML 5 web annotation app hands-on

It wasn’t that in the past that Myriad gave us an exclusive sneak peek at its platform agnostic Android app emulator, Alien Dalvik 2.0. While we were there, the corporate gave us a glimpse of another project, called Remarkz, that piqued our interest. Remarkz is a slick little HTML 5 application that lets users annotate online pages with text and drawings and share the marked up pages via email, Facebook and Twitter. In place of using screen grab programs like Skitch or Jing, Remarkz keeps the online page links live and only requires adding a bookmark to start. Additionally, a timeline feature helps you to see when new notes are made on a page and who made them — giving it greater potential to be used as a collaboration tool. True to Myriad form, it really works on any platform (tablets, PCs and Macs) using any browser that supports HTML 5. It’s still in beta for now, however the app works pretty much despite a small bug here or there. Plus, given its egalitarian nature, Myriad hinted that we might even see it on more screens (think big) in January at CES , which might up its cool quotient considerably. Interested? Take a look at a video walkthrough of the app after the break, and hit the source to begin using it yourself.
