While at GEPS2012 in Seattle, WA announcements were made by the Microsoft as well as the Android community that OneNote for Android had become available.
At GEPS2012 WiFi is provided, but too many times at customer's locations or just while out and about, there is a need for offline note taking. No problem, there are plenty of apps for Android that will allow you to take notes and store your file(s) on your local memory. I have done that. Have you ever tried to keep up with syncing that stuff? I have tried so many tools and online storage solutions that I surely lost track.
Is OneNote for Android the solution?
It sure looks that way. I have been taking notes in the past two days and have noticed that I don't worry anymore on where and how I have to store my notes.
After installing and starting up the app, it asks for your LiveID. After that it creates a new notebook on your Skydrive automatically and will sync periodially to that online notebook while connected. If you're not online, you can still start the app, and it will load your notebook from local cache I guess. The next time you connect, it will start syncing the changes.
Features are very thin: bullets, numbered lists and checkboxes is as fancy as it gets. No bold, italic, etc. Not a bad thing for basic note taking, but it would be nice to at least hihglight stuff in bold.
So, for this part it seems to be a good solution. Let's see how this pans out when I get back home and will be able to connect to this notebook through the full fledged OneNote client.
So, this seems to be a good practice for my note taking. But what do you use?
