I am looking for a notes program that lets me add both text and small sketches/drawings or even photo's to my notes... (sometimes a picture says more then 100 words)
And the program should come with a nice system to archive my notes or even add them to my outlook agenda.
You don't say what platform/device, but you might want to look at PhatNotes for Outlook from http://www.phatware.com
What about OneNote Mobile - part of MS Office Mobile 6.1 - that allows you to type or handwrite items, plus you can insert pictures or take a picture to insert into the note; the PC version will synchronise with the mobile version and you can then add notes as Outlook tasks.
Just a couple of thoughts from me...there's bound to be others
Mark.
One Note is a good solution but I also use Evernote, it's a free note app that works with a free desktop client and also a web interface (all free). This program lets you take typed notes, written notes, picture notes, pictures in notes, and audio notes. It then uploads the information to a web version and syncs with a desktop client provided by them. I use evernote only because I use an HTC Diamond and an iPhone 3G (depending on the day is the phone I use) and Outlook does not sync notes to iPhone so I use evernote to sync my notes everywhere. I would however prefer to use One Note just because it does not need to sync to an online portal.
OneNote Mobile is included with the version of MS office which comes with oneNote for pc
I can suggest Mobile Sketcher if you need to add notes to pictures
great answers, i'll start reading up on these..
I am currently using an old Imate JAMin, but i am soon upgrading to a Touch HD, and with the big screen it seems perfect to make little technical sketches along with my notes. So actually i am looking for an application to use on the HD...
I will certainly have use for mobile sketcher too, its not exactly what i was thinking about but its awesome to add handwritten text and little sketches to pictures i take from technicall stuff.
Thanks all...
With phatnote not being able to save notes on the flash ram, i guess it will be onenote (which i allready own on my PC, but never used as it came with the office suite, and i tend to never make notes behind my PC, but allways en route in the field)
I tested Onenote on my JAMin and it doesn;t fit the bill...
I can not make any sketches/drawings inside my notes....(i can only add pictures and soundrecordings)... thats the most essentiall thing it need to do...
I have a HTC Touch HD running Windows Mobile 6.1.
Also using Blackberry Connect to provide wireless synchronisation to email, contacts and appointments via my corporate BES.
Have the SoftMaker Office 2008 for Pocket PC to allow me to work on word, Excel and Powerpoint files on my mobile device.
The SoftMaker Office 2008 programs (Testmaker, Planmaker and Presentations) are all associated with the appropriate file file types.
For example if I click an an excel file the file is opened for editing by Planmaker, not pocket excel.
The Problem.
I receive office type documents as attachments in my windows mobile device email. However when I open the attachements from within the eMail the default pocket word/office applications are used to show me the attachment instead of the Softmaker applications.
I work in EH&S and the majority of attachents I receive are Incident Notification Forms consisting of large mutil tabed excel sheet. Because they are large and they take a long time and considerable space to fully download.
I am happy to be able to see the initial part of the attachment (with option to download more) but I would like to see this in Planmaker as pocket excel screws the formating so badly I cannot read the summary information (displayed on the initial tab on the spreadsheet) which I need to read to determine if I should download the entire file to my mobile device for immediate action or wait until I am back in the office.
Is there a way to associate an alternative application (eg Planmaker and Textmaker) other than Pocket Word/Excel to handle attachements in the windows mobile e-Mail Client?
I have asked this of the Softmaker Office Support team but they were unable to provide a solution.
Hope I have explained my issue appropraitly, any help greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

No ideas from anyone?
Microsoft just released onenote for ios . Very surprising...
http://www.bgr.com/2011/01/18/micro...:+TheBoyGeniusReport+(BGR+|+Boy+Genius+Report)
Wish they would release one for android
Am a big fan of onenote
Is any one thinking of developing one ???
It's great! Waiting...
Mobilenoter just recently hit the Android Market.

Mobilenoter is a bit rubbish. Sync is expensive, and almost impossible to set up so it actually works. The SE edition avoids sync - but is a pay app and is only a viewer. We need a proper MS app.
Not sure if it has the same functionality, but I have evernote on my Galaxy tab, my HD2 and my PCs, and it's pretty much flawless.
Edit: Okay, I've checked and evernote does everything that I can see onenote doing, and more.
Nthing Evernote, probably your best bet for Android note-taking. Microsoft's stance re: Android is a bit... cautious, so I wouldn't hold your breath for OneNote.
I haven't used my droid and onenote but i do use Evernote. Syncs well between my droid and computer. Allows picts, voice recordings, etc.
i think onenote is much more advanced note taking program. Just cannot compare to evernote. I use both and both have very different fns.
Since microsoft released one for apple , i wish they release for andorid too..
Anyone know the latest on this?
I've recently tried to get into OneNote because my life consists of several different legal pads with my chicken scratch and no effective overall organization...I'd LOVE to start using OneNote, but it's value diminishes if I can't both access AND edit on my EVO 3D.
That said, so far it looks like my choices and their corresponding negatives are:
(1) Use OneNote on my PC and MobileNoter on my Android
-As noted above, the problem here is that the "free" MobileNoter requires an expensive sync service and is buggy, and the $8 up-front version only lets you VIEW and not EDIT..
--Why the **** are those our choices?? literally ALL I need here is a way to view and edit on my phone...I can SEND and RECEIVE the OneNote file MYSELF using my dropbox/skybox etc. Is the "free" MobileNoter LOCKED or something? What I mean is that if MobileNoter has the ability to edit OneNOte files, then it should be GOOD to GO and I can simply pull files from my own cloud services and upload them back after editing...but it looks like I can't even ACCESS MobileNoter's functionality w/o signing up for and installing it's "sync client"....?? I'm assuming it was simply done this way for the developer to make money, ya?
(2) EverNote
-Some here say not as good as OneNote, and I tend to agree
-$5/month....right??
So IMHO, all we really need is an EDITOR...I don't really mind manually uploading to cloud from my PC and mobile, then having to open that file and save over old versions once I hop on my other device....

MobileNoter (the app that is free in Android Market and requires the Windows Sync Client for sync with OneNote) and MobileNoter SE (the one that costs $8 and can sync with Dropbox and SkyDrive) are two different applications. Though they have the same GUI and look similar to user, they are different from the technical point of view.
MobileNoter uses the same sync mechanism as the iPhone version of the app, which had arrived in 2009. At that time that was the easiest way to establish synchronization with OneNote. Also, because the license check was performed on the server side it allowed (and allows) users to change their phone or PC and not to lose their license.
MobileNoter SE is a completely new app that can work with *.one files by itself and doesnt require any additional software. It doesn't have page editing capabilities yet only because that part of application code cannot be taken from the original MobileNoter, so it is still in development. In MobileNoter SE 2.0 editing features will appear.
I understand that they're two different applications, and I understand their different capabilities--I just didn't and don't get why I can't just use MobileNoter (not SE) without using the sync client at all--in other words, just use the program for its editing capabilities, and then upload/sync my files on my own.
Guess I'll be waiting for MobileNoter SE 2.0.....
OneNote is my go-to app in Win7; the others don't compare. I use catch notes to make quickies, then manually add them to OneNote when I get home. sigh.
I also bought into mobilenoter early on, and they're decent people, but the app just isn't much more than a viewer. When I have been able to make notes on my phone and sync them back to my network, it was jibberish. (Anyone else have that issue?)
But I recently started using Windows Live from android, and I love it; bookmark the calendar, you've got a syncing calendar app that's not google (I'm all for competition!)
And it SEEMS there should be a way to access/use my SkyDrive (ie, ONE NOTE!) web apps from a browser, but no luck so far w/ stock or Dolphin broswer.
Is there an app [yet] for using the Live web apps? Because then we'd be able to access our ON notebooks (and hopefully edit them!) with a freakin bookmark link!

I totally agree Mobilenoter is hopeless it only seems to find half my notes and not being able to create a note is next to usless.
I don't understand MS' unwillingness to make an Android client.
They make more $ on Android phone sales than they do on WP7 phone sales.
I tried mobilenoter synced with skydrive, it works but errors out if you have images inserted....
I use onenote on both win 7 tablet and work pc synced with skydrive. Had to create a section just for android and sync that and not use images. Pretty limiting when i cant use images.

Such problems can occur if you use OneNote 2007, because MobileNoter SE is designed for OneNote 2010.
i was using onenote 2010,- does not like images at all with skydrive.
at last onenote android is on market but only for 2.3+
and I don't want to void my waenty on my new phone but it runs well on 2.3 mod on my Vodafone 845.
Mobilenoter can read ink notes but sync fails on images and is v....e.....r.....y... slow with skydrive.
MS onenote can sync images and fast but doesn`t read ink.
But isn't this typical with software.
I'm planning to buy a XDA a device ... and there is an helluva much more questions then answers.
Does Windows Mobile 7 includes a full Office Mobile?
Some phones reviews state that Office is included, like it may be not there, while MS states its part of Windows Mobile 7. And I understand it's free with Windows Mobile 7 phone? If not present in all Windows Mobile 7 phones, is it possible to download and install MS Office mobile legally?
yes Office 2010 is included in WP7.. OneNote is now actually usable & syncs with the Skydrive cloud not via the flaky WMDC..
Yep but the only issue I found using this Office 2010 is that we can't store documents directly on the phone, need a cloud account. Which is quick disappointing.
You cant store any of them on the phone? Thats past disappointing, that is criminal.
So why does the microsoft website talk about saving word,excel docs to the phone? You can't trans by usb anymore, either have to email it to yourself or upload from pc to skydrive and then to phone.
Windows Phone 7 has Office (Excel, Word, SharePoint, and OneNote) built in. You can store files on the device, but you have to get it to your device either through e-mail or by using an online file storage service (like SkyDrive) that is accessible from your phone. There is no dragging and dropping files onto your phone from your computer, in other words (at least not yet).
Once you open the document you emailed to yourself, or downloaded through the browser, they remain on the phone for future use. If you create a new document, that is also automatically saved onto the phone, and you can always e-mail your document to yourself later to get access to it elsewhere.
use a dropbox client to share docs... works fine for me
So, from my tests (on the type of documents I have to use on a day to day basis) it seems that Hancom office is more capable than Microsoft Office. It can open desktop-created office files that MS Office on Android cannot. The only downside is that it doesn't use the correct fonts, which makes the documents look different to how they appear in the desktop. MS Office on Android, when it can actually open a document, displays perfectly. So, is there a way to allow Hancom to use the right fonts?
Many thanks.
