Good idea! Thanks for reply, macneilpi.
Personally think the menu items are informative but may be better to reduce size into icons. So 1/3 can be shortcuts of notes specified in evernote web UI or desktop app, 1/3 can be last 2-3 used notes and 1/3 are the icons as you mentioned I.e. new {note, audio note, picture note, reminder, etc.
