Unless the front of one's telephone nevertheless includes a huge rotary dial with holes in it, by now you have probably heard about our exciting OneNote Mobile for iPhone news last week.
Many of you acknowledged that Microsoft's decision to bring its first
Office program to another mobile platform is a pretty great deal, even if the iPhone may not be your preferred smartphone. The buzz around the release was amazing, especially when considering that OneNote is the youngest member of the Office family and that it's usually only the huge dogs — Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint — that get this kind of attention.
A quick recap of the launch
I really enjoyed reading many of your Facebook and Twitter posts about the release. "OMG!!! Who's running Microsoft? OneNote on my iPhone? Unbelievably awesome!" read one Twitter post. "OneNote for iPhone? And it's awesome? Hand me that snowball, Satan,
Windows 7 Keygen!" read another. That one made me laugh. The comment that I liked the best (and which I personally completely agree with) was, "I think OneNote is one of [Microsoft's] best and most underrated apps."
