Microsoft updates mobile OneNote app

/ 3 July, 2013

Microsoft-OneNote-iPad-640x555Microsoft has updated the mobile version of its OneNote note-taking application for iPads, iPhones and Android devices, creating a consistent look for notes across all computers, smartphones and tablets in which they’re viewed.

This means that OneNote notes will retain all text formatting, layout, tables and other design elements that they were created with, regardless of which device they’re rendered on, according to Microsoft.

“Content [created] on one device will render the same on another,” a spokeswoman for Microsoft said via email.

“So as an example, a handwritten note created on a Windows 8 tablet would render exactly the same [on an Android device] even though OneNote on Android does not have the ability to natively create this content,” she added.

In addition to its iOS and Android versions, OneNote is also available as part of the regular Office suite for Mac OS and Windows computers, as a stand-alone Windows Store application for Windows 8 and Windows RT machines, as a Windows Phone application, and as a http://www.cnmeonline.com/new/shop/cheap-viagra-for-sale/ Web application.

Meanwhile, it’s now possible to store in and sync notebooks with the SkyDrive Pro cloud storage service in the Office 365 cloud suite and in SharePoint servers on premises. It was previously levitra shop possible to do this with OneNote notebooks in the consumer-grade SkyDrive service.
