Microsoft Release OneNote for iPhone (Free for a Limited Time)

Microsoft have now released their popular note-taking app, OneNote for Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch. The program, which is part of their Office suite is popular with people wanting to make notes in meetings of who want to jot down thoughts on the go.
While built-into the company's own Windows Phone operating system, iOS is the next smartphone operating system to get this great piece of software and for a limited time it's completely free.
The app isn't just about storing notes on your mobile, just as with OneNote on Windows Phone it will upload your notes to Microsoft's cloud storage service SkyDrive (you'll need a Windows Live ID) so that you can share your notes with your PC and open notes created on the desktop when on the move. Microsoft say of the new product. OneNote users will also be able to view and edit their notes in the OneNote cloud app, that can be accessed through Microsoft's Office Live service, or SkyDrive.
Microsoft OneNote Mobile is an easy-to-use note-taking application for capturing all of your ideas and to-dos on the go, brought to you by Microsoft Office. With OneNote Mobile, create searchable notes with text, pictures, bullets, and checkboxes. Then keep your notes in sync using free Windows Live SkyDrive cloud storage to access, edit and manage them from virtually anywhere, from your PC or almost any web browser.
OneNote was first introduced in Office 2003 but wasn't really popularly used until touch screen computers became commonplace. Now with Office 2010 running on many tablet PCs, it's considered a stable of the Office system. The extension of the software into the iPhone will only help professionals who need access to notes, and the ability to create notes on the move that they can then use and work with on their PC.
With this omission it remains to be seen how useful people will consider OneNote on the iPhone. Many iPhone users, probably most in fact, still use a PC and this will help uptake. The lack of OneNote support on the Mac could damage the apps chances of picking up serious traction on Apple's smartphone platform though.
There is also no word currently on a version of OneNote for the iPad or for Google's Android operating system. We can be reasonably certain that the former is already in development. The future of OneNote, and indeed other Microsoft Office services, on Android is less certain however. Microsoft haven't made any announcement as regards this and could decide to avoid Android development altogether.
On the flipside, Microsoft have a long history of developing Office products for the Mac, and so this was only to be expected. Microsoft have also announced that they will be bringing their new Lync communications platform to the iPhone later this year.
The app needs iOS 4.2 or higher to run and can be downloaded from the iTunes store. There is no word yet on how long Microsoft will be making OneNote for the iPhone free to download, though it will probably be for 30 days or less. If you are interested in trying OneNote on your iPhone or iPod Touch I wouldn't leave it too long before you add it to your download basket.

Are these articles AI generated?
Now the duplicates are more obvious.
This is below AI generated crap. It is copy of Microsoft Help website article without any relevant supporting text. Anyway you can find this information on many pages.
Yes, but why post the exact same article under a different title twice on the same day (19 march 2023), by two different writers?
1.) Excel Keyboard Shortcuts by Trevor Monteiro.
2.) 70+ Excel Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows by Priyanka Monteiro
Why oh why?
Yeah. Tell me more about “Priyanka Monteiro”. I’m dying to know. Indian-Portuguese bot ?
Probably they will announce that the taskbar will be placed at top, right or left, at your will.
Special event by they is a special crap for us.
If it’s Microsoft, don’t buy it.
Better brands at better prices elsewhere.
All new articles have zero count comments. :S
WTF? So, If I add one photo to 5 albums, will it count 5x on my storage?
It does not make any sense… on google photos, we can add photo to multiple albums, and it does not generate any additional space usage
I have O365 until end of this year, mostly for onedrive and probably will jump into google one
Photo storage must be kept free because customers chose gadgets just for photos and photos only.
What a nonsense. Does it mean that albums are de facto folders with copies of our pictures?
Sounds exactly like the poor coding Microsoft is known for in non-critical areas i.e. non Windows Core/Office Core.
I imagine a manager gave an employee the task to create the album feature with hardly any time so they just copied the folder feature with some cosmetic changes.
And now that they discovered what poor management results in do they go back and do the album feature properly?
Nope, just charge the customer twice.
Sounds like a go-getter that needs to be promoted for increasing sales and managing underlings “efficiently”, said the next layer of middle management.
When will those comments get fixed? Was every editor here replaced by AI and no one even works on this site?
Instead of a software company, Microsoft is now a fraud company.
For me this is proof that Microsoft has a back-door option into all accounts in their cloud.
quote “…… as the MSA key allowed the hacker group access to virtually any cloud account at Microsoft…..”
unquote
so this MSA key which is available to MS officers can give access to all accounts in MS cloud.This is the backdoor that MS has into the cloud accounts. Lucky I never got any relevant files of mine in their (MS) cloud.
>”Now You: what is your theory?”
That someone handed an employee a briefcase full of cash and the employee allowed them access to all their accounts and systems.
Anything that requires 5-10 different coincidences to happen is highly unlikely. Occam’s razor.
Good reason to never login to your precious machine with a Microsoft a/c a.k.a. as the cloud.
The GAFAM are always very careless about our software automatically sending to them telemetry and crash dumps in our backs. It’s a reminder not to send them anything when it’s possible to opt out, and not to opt in, considering what they may contain. And there is irony in this carelessness biting them back, even if in that case they show that they are much more cautious when it’s their own data that is at stake.
