I've thought that OneNote has been MS's best kept secret for years. The desktop version (especially on a tablet PC) is awesome. The SkyDrive app and cloud sync is pretty good. But combined with WP8's native integration it rocks!
This is probably my number one reason for leaving android for WP. I just don't understand why no one seems to think it's a killer feature. If they do then they aren't talking. Well lets run it up the flagpole!
I've tried so many times to make do with evernote just for the 'same everywhere' aspect. But it feels so clunky on the desktop after OneNote. Now I no longer have to compromise! Now all my notes are with me any time AND I can jot in quick ones with native shortcuts. That's what the android version was missing the most.
Here's some of my favorite uses:
-scan handwritten notes in, you can see them now on the mobile version! Of course you can search them via microsoft's awesome handwriting recognition. Evernote is famous for this, onenote's been doing it since 03.
-Linked notes: this is way better than evernote also. In OneNote, you can link to paragraphs within notes and embed documents anywhere. And it works flawlessly across notebooks on SkyDrive. It's your very own freeform wiki that you can share all or part of with your family.
I could go on and on but am loving this more everyday. I'm no longer hunting for that perfect gtd app and quick mobile note solution. It's all here now and just works.
Am I alone here? Anyone else super excited about the surface pro with pen input? Check it out if you haven't, spread the word if you agree, and lets use this forum to share tips and use scenarios!
