Microsoft OneNote app brings first piece of Office puzzle to iOS

mobile

Microsoft on Tuesday launched a new version of its OneNote mobile application for Apple’s iOS platform. Compatibile with the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, OneNote allows iPhone users to create, edit and sync notes using Microsoft’s popular cloud-based note-taking solution. OneNote is part of Microsoft’s famed Office suite of products, and is the first Office application to be built by Microsoft for the iOS platform. Microsoft, which has launched several other apps for iOS in the past, has not specifically stated whether or not it intends to launch additional apps for iOS. Instead, a company executive said only that Microsoft would continue to expand Office across several platforms. Hit the break for a link to the Microsoft’s OneNote app in iTunes, which is available for free, though only for a limited time.

    I tried OneNote on the desktop and ended up liking Evernote more.

    I like One Note. I have not used it extensively yet but I do anticipate it becoming more useful in the very near future.

    Not native for iPad = fail.

      Yeah, I think people who say “Compatibile with the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch” should be flogged.

    Too bad it requires iOS 4.2 …should only require 4.1

    It’s only for the iPhone, where did you get an iPad screenshot?

    Pretty sweet though, i loaded it on my work test iPhone and it synced all my notes from my Windows Phone 7 device. Massive.

      That’s 2 iPhone pictures side by side. Look at the top bar all the way across. It’s a duplicate.

    Great start. The app is missing:
    * Numbered lists (has bullets and tasks but no numbers)
    * Nested lists with appropriate indenting
    * Rich text (bold, italics, etc)
    * iPad version
