Android: Microsoft's popular note taking and organization app, OneNote, is now available on Android, so you can have your notes with you wherever you go.

OneNote has been available for the iPhone for over a year now, but now Android users can finally get in on the action. The Android client lets you create new notes with text, pictures, and bullets, as well as manage to-do lists with checkboxes. You can sync all your notes with Microsoft SkyDrive, too, so everything stays in sync across your devices. Free accounts can create and edit up to 500 notes, as usual, and all you need is a Windows Live ID. Hit the link to check it out. Thanks, Sean!

OneNote is a free download for Android devices running 2.3 and higher.

Microsoft OneNote Comes to the iPhone

iOS: It's been a long time coming, but finally Microsoft Office users can get their favorite note-taking app on the iPhone, so you can view, create, and sync notes on-the-go.
While OneNote is a pretty great note taking app (and one that many of you actually prefer), it's biggest downside was that, unlike the popular Evernote, it wasn't cross-platform. Microsoft took a big step in that direction, today, bringing OneNote to the iPhone. With it, you can get all your existing notes from the OneNote desktop app and webapp directly from the cloud, edit them, and even create new text, picture, bulleted, or checkbox notes right from your phone. It even saves them in the background as you type.

Microsoft OneNote is free for an as-yet-defined limited time, and works with iOS 4.2 or later. Microsoft OneNote 2010 is required to sync notes from the desktop app.

Daily Record of Events Makes Ubiquitous Capture a Snap

Windows only: Daily Record of Events is a lightweight tool that creates an easy point of entry for inserting notes, musings, and other capture-worthy snippets into your organization system with a simple keyboard shortcut.
Daily Record of Events is an AutoHotkey-based tool which enables a simple hotkey (Win+N by default) to summon either a text dialogue box for those who use Evernote or plain text files as their organization system of choice, or your default OneNote page for those who implement a Getting Things Done system with Microsoft OneNote. The screenshot above shows a Daily Record of Events entry in my GTD-based OneNote setup.

By editing Daily Record's INI file, you can change the formatting of the time stamp and entry, what application it will use (OneNote, Evernote, text), and how it will interact with the application you choose. It's a simple but effective tool for making ubiquitous capture more fluid. In addition to capture in the aforementioned applications, there are also keyboard shortcuts for creating new Outlook messages and tasks. Check out the link below for more features and make sure to read the readme.pdf for instructions on customizing your setup.

If you have a favorite method for speedy computer-based capture, let's hear about it in the comments below.

Battle of the Desktop Note-Taking Apps: OneNote vs. Evernote

In Lifehacker Faceoff, Reader Poll, Evernote, Onenote, Microsoft Onenote, Note-taking, Windows, Gtd, Getting Things Done, Featured Windows Download, / 22 June 2009 / 0 comments

Whenever we mention desktop note-taking applications, two apps always stand out among the competition: Microsoft OneNote and Evernote. One is a commercial Windows app; the other is a free application for Windows, OS X, and many mobile phones. So which is better?
We've danced around this question in our Hive Five Best Note-Taking Tools, but pen and pencil won that contest hands-down. Both tools have their strengths and weaknesses. Many staunch OneNote supporters are quick to point out that Evernote has an unfair advantage in the voting department because it's free. Evernote does, however, offer pro accounts ($45/year) that put it at least somewhat on par with OneNote's price tag ($100 for a license). On the other hand, OneNote integrates like a dream with every corner of your Windows desktop.

Both apps are serious about syncing your notes with the web and other computers with the software installed. Evernote wins the mobile war with support for the iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, and Palm Pre; OneNote, on the other hand supports only Windows Mobile devices. Both can perform optical character recognition (or OCR) for translating your handwriting into searchable notes.

We could go on, but ultimately both tools have a lot in common with subtle differences (the tablet PC-owner niche loves OneNote). So we want to throw it out to you:

Let's hear your application-specific pros and cons in the comments.
