OneNote Mobile for Android

Is this better than Evernote? And right now, you can't install to the SD card.

Would be great if they would add the clickable checkboxes to the Windows Phone version as well. I've found this omission really annoying since the first release of OneNote on Win Mobile. Checkboxes are the feature I use most on OneNote (except for entering text of course).

Ok, I'm digging the whole "get consumers to do some work" stuff with the Office Web Apps and SkyDrive and such, but there's a lot of overlap happening here in the mobile space. I think we need some clear boundaries over what is "work" and what is "play" when you see SkyDrive and Office 365 side-by-side.

It's pretty confusing, especially with the marketing that says people like to do both work and play on their mobile device.

If I'm a phone buyer that wants to do some professional work, I might buy into Office 365. It doesn't have the photo integration with the camera though, so do I use my home Hotmail account as a Windows Live ID, or do I set up a new WLID with my Office 365 email address as a login? Windows 8 will be confusing for this too, since domain-joined computers will have domain logins, but the ability to move computer settings between systems will be set up to work with Windows Live ID's, meaning a consumer authentication method. Ditto for app store purchases. Sometimes it's good to separate one's personal life from their professional life, so if you want to use two separate computers, the overlap is confusing that way too.

Honestly, I just wish there was one set of Microsoft cloud services - one with free access, and one with pay access. Online photo and document management should be unified between business (Office 365 - pay) and consumer (Windows Live - free) usage scenarios, but the standard UI should be mostly the same. Hotmail and Outlook Web Access via Exchange Online are already mostly the same, and the Web Apps certainly are. SkyDrive and SharePoint should be one and the same with the exception that the pay version just offer more customization and personalization through My Sites. If they merged the two cloud offerings, it would mean more focus for the company, and less confusion for users trying to determine which service is best for their needs.

This really makes android infinitely more usable. For me, being a Sprint customer, there was no great Windows Phone. I just bought a Transformer Prime and will switch to an ARM based Windows 8 tablet but I am glad they released this. I think they have a real opportunity to get people into their software and coax them back to Windows on the tablet. Until then I think they should seize the existing market and sell some less power versions of the apps for android tablets. MS can show off their great applications on Android until Win8 is ready. I use one note and love it but I needed a tablet that lasted longer than 2 hours.
