Will Microsoft do an iPad-customized version of OneNote or any of the other Office suite applications? Another no comment. Will Microsoft release iPhone versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint, too - and if so, when? Bunge said no comment. Microsoft's decision to make a native iPhone version of OneNote leads to lots of questions - so far without official answers. But the iPhone version enables a "full editing experience" on the iPhone, Bunge said.

The Softies have not made available any iPad-specific apps - though iPad users can run iPhone apps on their devices, if they don't mind the pixelated look (or if they've done an iPad jailbreak).īefore today, iPhone users could view, but not edit, OneNote notes on their phones using Microsoft's OneNote Web App. Others include Bing, Windows Live Messenger and the Microsoft Tag Reader. Microsoft has delivered very few iPhone apps to date.

There is no "out-of-the-box" Live Mesh or DropBox support for OneNote for the iPhone. Supported browsers for OneNote on iPhone include Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome. OneNote Mobile for iPhone lets users take notes, capture and embed photos from their iPhone cameras and sync these automatically to their SkyDrive accounts, allowing them to access/share the notes across their Windows PCs, Windows Phone 7 devices and iPhones. The native iOS version of OneNote Mobile is the culmination of 18 to 24 months of development work by a team consisting of both Microsoft Mac Office and OneNote engineers, Bunge said. Microsoft officials declined to say when support in other markets will be added. Update: The OneNote application is available in the U.S. Gallery: Microsoft's OneNote takes on the iPhone

but I digress.) The product will be free for a limited time period, the end date of which Microsoft is not specifying today. (I'm sure more than a few of the requests came from Microsoft employees with iPhones.

Starting today, in response to user requests, Microsoft is making OneNote Mobile for the iPhone available as a free download from the iTunes store, said Jason Bunge, Senior Director of Office Product Management. Microsoft released a version of its OneNote note-taking application for the Apple iPhone on January 18.
