OneNote Mobile vs. OneNote Mobile

2011-02-21
hey guys this is adam lane with pacquiao com we're going to take a quick comparison between OneNote mobile on windows phone 7 and OneNote mobile on Apple's iOS so let's check them out first off let's look at iOS so here's one note mobile for the iphone ipad ipod whatever and once you log in with your live ID it's going to download all of the OneNote notebooks that you synced with SkyDrive already so they show up right here really nicely you got recently viewed ones unfiled ones are right there and you got no really nice structure here down here you always have the quick note button got a camera button so pretty good here and you can easily drill down and find some different notes and sometimes they get different colors so that's pretty cool you can't rearrange any of these and deleting them is kind of tricky just good guys slide it so I can create a note you gotta do is slide to show the delete button now on windows phone 7 OneNote is really integrated into the office hub so let's just go back for a second there's our office hub we get to OneNote now you would think that since Windows Phone 7 has a live ID associated with the whole operating system everything would just show up right away and you get all your notebooks from Sky Drive that just come down but that doesn't happen you get to default notes and then you have to set up sinking manually and to do that it's pretty much the same as how you do it on the desktop OneNote you got to go to SkyDrive on the web browser you've got to browse to your notebooks and then go to tap on it and then you gotta tap on it again once it loads so you have to do this for each notebook that you've already set up on SkyDrive so if I tap it again now it's going to say opening notebook and that's going to download it and set up a sink so now they're all in here now you can notice where are we some of them do not sync correctly like this one is passwords this one is password protected in one note on the desktop it's not going to be able to sync to Windows Phone 7 see it says that right there and it's going to tell you that's not going to happen okay now you can also 10 have some really cool integration here we can I can pin it so I can put notes that i'm using frequently or recently right there on the Start screen which is it really handy I don't have to go in and browse and find it so there you go next let's look at how notes appear after they've been synced but first let's see how it looks in real one note so here's my test note and I have some embedded documents there maybe I can zoom in a little bit there's a Word Excel PowerPoint PDF there I have a little table here's a check boxes do this do this too we have a numbered list bulleted list hyperlinks there's some handwriting recognition here's a video video attachment recorded in OneNote 2010 there's an audio one as a screen clipping just the picture regular and there's an equation and some shape drawings so let's see how that appears on which one Windows Phone ok so if I open that one here we see the title we see some broken picture boxes here's the embedded documents and these I can if I can tap it correctly open so there's a word document and all those will open here's a table see that came just fine these are checkboxes but they don't show up I don't have checkboxes on Windows Phone 7 numbered lists the littlest those look good hyperlink to another one note page does not work pepper link to website does work so there goes web page and this is some ink handwriting doesn't appear can't read that here's our video recording note I tap it just right we can open it and that plays just fine same with the audio note I can open those I'm just going to play screen clipping works good where do we go you can zoom to read it but it's a kind of low resolution compared to what it is really and here's an equation which is broken handshape drives are not there in terms of editing what you can do here you can type stuff you can insert an audio recording or picture we can do lists it's a numeric list I can also do bulleted list and we can do some formatting just a little bit bold italic highlight inserting the picture it's just a matter doing this and so it's in there now let's look at iOS the same note here's my same notes called test so here see there's the title these are embedded documents none of them work it just says embedded file this is a table that doesn't work either it just says table so I lost that data right there these are checkboxes we do have checkboxes in iOS this numbered list doesn't work bulleted list does work hyperlinks are mess these you can't click on them there they just show up as URLs and got weird boxes there ink and writing just shows up as the word ink here's my video recording again nothing just as embedded file audio recording same thing screen clipping does show we have pictures equations and shape drawings do not show now in terms of editing you can type stuff we can insert checkboxes we can do bulleted lists and we can insert a picture so that's about it for editing and those are the differences between iOS with OneNote mobile and Windows Phone 7 is one not mobile pretty different but there you go hope you enjoyed this video feel free to comment about these differences and decide which one's better and that's it for now
