In June of 2010, we connected Office 2010 to SkyDrive so that you can share and access your documents across the web. Over 30 million people have now accessed Office documents on SkyDrive! We?re extremely happy that we have reached so many of you!
In August, we connected Hotmail to Windows Phone and iOS devices via Exchange ActiveSync. Combined with Outlook Connector, you now have a seamless experience for getting to your mail, calendar, and contacts across your Windows PCs, phones, and the cloud.
In October, we connected OneNote on Windows Phone 7 to SkyDrive so that you could access your personal or shared notebooks across your PC and your Windows Phone.
Starting January 18th in the US, you can download OneNote Mobile for the iPhone. For a limited time, we?re even making it free. We?re working to make it available in other regions as well, and we?ll keep you updated as it becomes available.
What?s so great about OneNote?
OneNote holds a special place in my heart. I started using OneNote almost a decade ago, when it was in development. It was the first experience where I could combine ink, text, images, and markup all in one application. I watched OneNote mature into the most powerful and flexible note taking application through three Office releases. As someone who is heavily focused on both work and life related productivity (I happen to use Getting Things Done), OneNote is my note taking hub for myself and my family.
With OneNote now connected and syncing to the web, across your PCs, and across your Windows Phone or iPhone you have access anywhere to the best note taking tool. For things like:
- Your to do or project list everywhere
- A place to organize vacation plans and trips with your friends and family
- Recipes that you?ve collected, allowing you to quickly pull them up at the grocery store and purchase ingredients, or when you are standing over your stove following the instructions
- A collection tool for your research, like what holiday gifts to get next year, or what car to purchase next.
- A notebook that you can share with members of your household, or students in a class and collaborate in real time using handwriting, text, audio, documents, tables and web content
It?s great to see OneNote available on the iPhone. I hope more people are introduced to what I feel is a truly innovative product. For more details, please visit the Office blog.
Happy note taking!
