Wait, wait wait.....I'm well aware that you can't synchronise Windows Calendar or Windows mail with your Windows Mobile device.
It just seems such an obvious, and useful, feature...I know there's people who love using Outlook (which for anyone who doesn't know, CAN sync with mobile devices) but I find it to be overkill for my simple needs.
I can't find anything here or anywhere else about it, but I find it incredible that there's no hacks or workarounds or 3rd-party software to get synchronisation with Vista's included apps to work after all this time - especially from this community, which is usually so quick and effective at "correcting" things like this.
Have I missed something? Or is it just not a big deal for most people? Any input/opinions are welcome...
Everywhere I see I keep finding references to Outlook when I want to edit contacts through my computer instead of through my PPC (it's a seriously painful job at times... ><).
I have no interest in buying the entire damned Outlook/Office suite for this little thing, and OpenOffice covers everything I need otherwise. Does this exist?
Outlook is an awesome app period. I got '07 version (only one on shelves) for about $70. Not to mention it will also be your main point for calender, tasks, notes, contacts, and if you want mail (kind of pointless if you have the unlimited data plan) Or just find a contact manager app for your PPC that you like, you don't have to purchase the entire office suite.
I'm still not keen on getting Outlook. Costly, unnecessary since I have everything I need in other programs or services. All I need is a way to manage contacts like I can do in Outlook (through Activesync), and that's what I'm looking for, but can't find.
Does it exist?
may try jeyo mobile companion.
its a desktop tool to work with your PPC for SMS and contacts.
Im using Mozilla Thunderbird and Birdiesync, if you install the Lightning-Addon for Thunderbird you can even sync your Calendar.

Now this looks interesting. Thanks to both of you for great suggestions!
If there's a free something out there that'd be even better
Does anyone know how to or know of a tool for me to sync my Outlook Notes 2007 into my Captivate Memo? I have so much information (maybe 200+ notes) stored in my notes that it would be a major pita to copy and paste each of them into a WORD doc to send into my Captivate.
Thanks in advance.
Yes, this is definitely something i need researched as well. I'm doing it from Notes as a part of Microsoft Exchange, but all we really need is a way to sync between Outlook - Captivate, even if it's via USB for now. Wireless would be strongly preferred, but either or at this point. Maybe there's some Samsung Software out there that handles this?

From the www.nitrodesk.com website:
3.8 Does TouchDown support Notes ?
No, TouchDown does not support Notes syncing since Exchange Servers prior to 2010 do not support this. However, NitroDesk has a separate product which handles Notes and lets you synchronize them over the USB to the device. More information on this can be found HERE . TouchDown itself will support notes only in a future version which will add 2010 extensions. Work on this has not yet started, and we dont have an ETA for that..
My company uses "Touchdown" which syncs Outlook pretty well....except for Notes! How annoying.
When I looked up "NitroNotes" from the "HERE" above, I would have to hack my Captivate in order to install "non-market" applications. I don't want to do that. Further, the NitroNotes, although free, is a beta only.
So, I still haven't found a non-hacked solution to my getting Notes imported from Outlook.
I believe the Note Everything app has an import for Outlook notes.

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.
