No ink support. Fwump, fwump, fwump...the sound of a flat tire on the OneNote bus.

Back when I only had Windows Mobile devices for mobile computing on the go (it was all that I could afford at the time), I was interested when I learned that OneNote-a killer Tablet PC app-would get a Windows Mobile equivalent. Perhaps I’d get to learn why the tableteers love it.

Only thing is, they somehow completely forgot about the touchscreen aspect of non-Smartphone/Standard WM devices. Honestly, what’s OneNote without inking? That’s even more substandard than the default Notes app, which already has an irritating calibration issue as you go toward the lower-right corner in either orientation. Oh well, there’s always Pocket Informant.

Even though I have a TC1100 now that could easily run OneNote, it would be very nice if I could just pull up my notes on my hx4700, or maybe enter in some short notes for those times when lugging around the TC1100 is impractical.

Thanks for jumping in here, Kate. Good information, although “Outreach Team” sounds like you’re going to perform an intervention. :)

Also forgot to add on my wishlist for OneNote:
– dynamic data exchange with Excel and Word
– expanded ability to search/filter tags

This is great news. OneNote is one of MS’s best — and least promoted — programs, so I’m glad to see they’re pumping it up even more. More syncing, especially with WinMob, is great (and much needed).

More integration with Outlook and handwriting in WinMob would be *perfect.*

Does anyone know if the new OneNote will have better syncing options with Outlook? (Specifically, I’d like to see syncing of appointments. Syncing of tasks is fine already.) This was one area of potential improvement where there was a bit of buzz early on in various OneNote blogs, but Rasmussen’s post doesn’t mention anything about it.

BTW, Rasmussen is Group Program Manager, not Product Manager, for OneNote.

will OneNote for Windows Mobile support ink this time?

I suspect it’s a Windows Mobile kind of thing.

A complete guess on my part, IANAL, but I would imagine a search warrant (in the USA for servers hosted in the USA) would allow them access to the data. So what is MS hosts their servers somewhere else?

Along those lines I wonder if I should start a cloud storage company based in the Cayman islands. I could charge extra and advertize it for drug lords and other under the table storage needs 

I think your best bet as always for the tin foil had crowd is to keep the data in your possession stored on your hardware and don’t transfer it on a network.
