I have a need to be able to share my meeting notes in a corporate environment. S-Note is not very sharable, as it exports to only PDF and a propritery format. I have a need to be able to share notes between my office laptop (win7) and GN10.1, so that it makes it worth to take meeting notes on my gn10.1.
I stumbled across OneNote mobile
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.office.onenote&hl=en
Has anyone used this app extensively? Can you initially create a note from this app and then share it on win7 laptop and resume editing there?
I will definately also try this myself today.. but just looking to see if someone already had a glowing or damning feedback on this app.
try evernote

Okay, onenote can also use cloud sharing to share notes between tablet and office laptop.
Considering I already have onenote installed in my office machine, this may be a better option than evernote.

The official OneNote Mobile app is very limited. It will not allow you to ink on your tablet, and I have had trouble displaying ink/graphics as well. Additionally, I think it only syncs via SkyDrive, and does not cache the pages on your tablet, which means that you have to have an active internet connection to switch between pages or notebooks.
There is a competing OneNote app that is a lot more powerful, but costs $15. (EDIT: To be clear, this app syncs with Microsoft OneNote, but is not made by Microsoft.) I bit the bullet and bought it a week ago, and am very happy with it so far. It allows inking on my GNote, seems to display all pages exactly as they are seen on my PC (well the fonts maybe different, but it displays all pics/ink/text in the right relative size and location), and gives more sync options (Dropbox or SkyDrive or other cloud services or USB sync).
Its called MobileNoter. I bought the SE HD version and am loving it, and have not had any problems with loss of data that some of the reviews mention (be sure to read them!). Here is the link.

Can you also create new notes and have them show up on your pc?

Thanks for the tip. seems like a good lead. I will download a trial version and work it out.
$15 is not too much to ask for if it's functional, good and compatible.
I hope microsoft does something about Onenote mobile... improves it
Maybe with win 8 tablets....

I agree that MS should offer a better OneNote mobile client. But maybe OneNote is going to finally be promoted as a flagship offering for windows pcs once the tablets come out?
On that note, and I am probably jinxing myself by writing about it, Lenovo just told me they are going to send me a free Windows 8 powered Thinkpad Tablet 2 to replace the crappy Android Thinkpad Tablet that has been in the shop for the 3rd time in less than a year, for over 2 months now. The rep told me that they can no longer source parts to build the brand-new TPT they promised me, so "would I mind" being upgraded to the Windows 8. I am pretty ecstatic at this possibility, as I have long loved Thinkpad Tablets running Windows but have often found them too costly...
Congrats! Mine is going back in for the 2nd time.

I used MobileNoter before MS released their official Onenote app and liked (like) it more than the Microsoft version. The only problem that I had with it was the need to run a mobilenoter sync app on the PC to sync my pages.

Maybe this is new since you used it- it can now be synced in several ways, including cloud services like Dropbox. I use Dropsync with Dropbox to fully cache my OneNote folder on my GNote, which then syncs both ways via Dropbox to my PC instance of OneNote. Works perfect so far.

Interesting, it may be worth giving it another try. Thanks
I also use Mobilenoter, SE on my Note 1 and HD on the 10.1. I generally create on a laptop and sync using FolderSync and Dropbox as the built-in sync always fails on some of my notebooks and the incremental sync never works (they are several hundred meg in size though)
Other than that I find it fantastic for viewing my notes. Once the Samsung keyboard comes out I'll be trying to create them on the note as well, in fact that is my primary reason for getting the tablet.
Sent from my GT-N8010
I use Onenote mobile and it is reliable and stable. Such a shame it does not handle inking on my 10.1 or it would be perfect. Sync is reliable and quick and my notes are large.
Mobilenoter is good but clunky to use and edit. Sync is very slow and unreliable so I use a separate notebook for inking on yhe go which I sync and use on a desktop and the kmport to my notes.

Currently got a touch pro2 , had windows phones for over 5 years now. But not really liking win 7 phones, seem very restrictive, and theres not that many good deals about.

2. Can i back up all my calander entries and transfer them across?
3. I use opera mobile 10, can i copy my favorites across?
4. Is it possible to copy over my texts and contacts as these are all backup and saved via microsoft myphone

5. sat nav, a biggy, i have used TomTom since my ipaq ppc days, and nothing else, is there something compareable on android? not a data based one , needs to have maps on the SD card, for the UK & cover the rest of europe.
6. an equiverlent free app to midomi ( ie record a 10 second clip of a tune, and display the details of the tune ) that works well.
7. A radio station streamer app, that allows you to enter your own urls, as in .pls links.

I was in the same dilemma as you a few months back. i was a hardcore WM fan, but decided to make the switch to Android. i never looked back. Once you experience android it is like a completely experience. i got a galaxy tab, and kept my tg01 just incase i didn't like android, but now i would definetely let android be my next primary phone. if you want to experience android yourself, try out a ROM for your tp2.
like you, i dislike wp7, it is so restricted. Android is open source there is so much you can do for it.
My next phone will be a android, no doubt, possibly those dual core ones . i suggest waiting till after march when the dual cores are released.
Hope this helps mate

1. Yes you can configure Hotmail with Exchange to have push mail. I've only tried it for a short time and received several times the same message so can't tell you if that was a one-time bug or if it is usual. Anyway you can still configure a reception in POP every 5 minutes.
But you'll have the best of Android experience if you use a Gmail account instead. The push works really nice.
2. You can use Google Sync to transfer all your calendar from WM to Android.
3. Sprite Migrate allows the transfer of bookmarks but I don't remember which browser favorites it transfers.
4. For contacts you can use either Google Sync or Sprite Migrate. For your texts do you mean .doc? Maybe you could transfer them to your PC then to Google Documents and you'll have access to them via GDocs on your phone?
The real bad point in Android is that there is no real Office application like in WM. Documents to Go and Quick Office are either paid applications or not as good as in WM IMO.
5. There are several applications: Google Maps Navigation, Navigon for example. On HTC Desire Z and HD they have included offline maps on the SD card. I don't know for other brands devices.
6. Soundhound is the equivalent. It's free and you can now search for an unimited amount of songs
7. I don't use the radio feature so can't give you much information but I'd be surprised that it doesn't exist. Other people will probably give your more information about that

No, you CAN get Microsoft office apps on the tab. its just they are not 'official' microsoft branded but they still work. its just that in WM, you get the official mobile version.

No what I meant is that I've tried both Documents To Go and Quick Office and they are less complete than the Office application in WM.
For example in Excel, it doesn't even display graphs. You only have spreadsheets. It's a real lack for me.
Anyother ways of copying my calander entries from win 6.5 to android, other than google sync as i cant get that to do it at all?
Dont think my active sync was ever setup or used, as it wont let me select anything, as no outlook is used??
I'm in that stage right now where my contract expires 2/20 and I'll probably wait a bit for the Atrix. However, I've been searching for these things in Android:
1. Pocket Dictionary / Japanese Language Input - I'm taking Japanese classes, so I use the Japanese SIP where you can use the stylus to draw the furigana characters, etc.
2. Cash Organizer - Apparently they're not releasing an Android version. Any financial software as good as CO?
3. Pocket Player - Anything even close to this? Random visualizations, skinning, library manager?
4. Outlook Tasks APP & SYNC - I use tasks to document everything, whether in the phone, or in the PC, and then just sync everything together with Outlook. Is there a standard task app that could sync with Outlook in the PC? With the categories?
5. G-Alarm - is there an equivalent? random mazes and math problems for snooze?
And let's not forget Spacetime, the HP48GX Emulator, and Pocket Stars!? Maybe it would just be better to start working on WINE for Android
Hey. i've been looking for an android phone that fits my budget right now, wich btw, it's not very high hahaha. i've been offered this HTC touch pro 2 in a really chep price, new and in it's CDMA version. I know i'ts a bit old but it fits my needs. BUT as i said before, i'm looking for an android phone. surfing around the web i've seen a few videos and sites talking about these "ports" that enabale you to have even Android 2.3 on this cellphone.
so, my question is, and i would really apreciate to be answered with simplle words (yes, i'm kind of noob with these smartphones, in fact this would be my first one), Is this possible? after getting my HTC TP2 will i be able to enjoy at least of android 2.2?
thanks in advance

Not without ActiveSync AFAIK... there might be, but I don't know it, and ActiveSync is free and very easy to set up! Set up Activesync, sync your WinMo phone to Outlook, and then either sync your new Android phone to Outlook OR use Google Calendar Sync to sync Outlook to GMail and then sync the Android phone to GMail's calendar. (Don't do both or you'll get duplicate entries!)
Personally I prefer Outlook's calendar (more feature-complete and can handle recurring events better), but I can't deny that it's much easier having your calendar in the cloud, letting the phone sync with it from anywhere, and being able to log in from any PC to check it even if your phone has run out of battery!

Android doesn't have a Tasks (or Notes) function, which is a bit strange seeing as GMail has a Notes applet built in (!), but there's a few apps that add that functionality (some free, some paid-for) and support syncing with Outlook. Have a look on http://www.syncdroid.net/

alternatively you can install Team Viewer on your pc and then their app on your tab and you now have full access to your pc remotely. Like this the best. can login and help friends and family on their pc's too and they only need to run a temporary program with nothing to install. Also has a great web interface to access from any computer running mac, win, or linux. Switched from logmein about 6 months ago and never looked back. The app runs fairly well on the tab.

I just installed the team viewer app today. Wasn't worth it on my droid-X (can't believe i'm saying this but the screen is too small on the X for it) but its one of the make or break features I needed in a tablet. Navigating takes getting used to though.
Yeah it did take a few moments to get use to how to move the mouse around and click or double click on the touch screen but once I got the hang of it it's OK...

I’ve tried some of the free options and I personally didn’t like the idea of needing software on my pc. I wanted a Real RDP client the best thing I have found that fit my needs was Pocket Cloud Pro. It’s not cheap it’s like $15 in the market but it is the most robust option by far.
Another option is WYSE PocketCloud. I use it and it seems to work fine as well. Also FREE.

LogMeIn Ignition
TeamViewer is a great tool but it is crazy expensive (Over $900). Since I need it for work I decided to use LogMeIn Ignition which is less than $40. I don't miss any features TeamViewer may have had as LogMeIn has everything I use. It's great and it's affordable. I highly recommend to folks to buy and PAY for apps rather than use free versions if you can so you can help support the developers and/or companies that will continue to make good apps for our Android OS. I felt $40 was fair and $900 was just plain crazy.

I am a proud Xoom owner/user but when it comes to available office suites I feel very neglected. I started a thread over at the Xoom forum comparing some of the main features of three major (tablet optimized) office suites.
The official Asus Transformer website states that it will be shipped with the Polaris Suite. Has anyone tried it yet? I know it will be next to impossible to get the apk to run it on the Xoom so if anyone wants to add their experience on the Transformer? Here is the link to the PowerPoint presentation that I used to evaluate the compatibility.
Your help is really appreciated!
it doesn't work to bad.. everything displays apart from the line of symbol text and the the page numbers just show up as hash. The speed of the app is fine in fact is is almost instant.

It has some functions that most other office apps don't have - insert table for example. Even better the table functionality is very feature rich meaning you can do things like merge cells.
I have had it crash on me, and when it did so, it lost all of the work I had done - it would be nice if they did a periodic save.
Speed in use is fine.
I'm comparing it to various paid for office apps I have had on the iPad, and it compares favourably so far.
A question is, is it better than Google docs?
I posted a comparison between (for now Word and PowerPoint) Office Suites in the Xoom forum. Bottom line is that none of the currently available apps should be considered perfect. Hopefully the competition coming up with all the Honeycomb tablets will spark a flood of well-developed apps.
I have found that the doc/xls files saved with polaris suite won't open with openoffice or libre office on my ubuntu 10.10 box, which is a shame, as I really like the functionality of it otherwise. In fact, I don't even think they opened with QuickOffice, which I installed next and, despite its more limited functionality, is reasonably good on my transformer!

I wonder if they open in Word. Such suite should have at least RTF. DOC/XLS are very bad choices especially since there are several very different versions of DOC/XLS formats out there.

I checked out his other videos and it made me want to test drive the Transformer so badly. Even my wife who leans towards iProducts was pretty impressed by its options!
Has anyone been able to get google docs integration work on on Polaris?
I can download a document from my google docs. However it will only save it locally and it won't upload it back to google docs. I also tried creating a new document and pushing it up to google docs and that also failed.

If you have the Google Docs app installed, then within Polaris you can click-and-hold on a locally saved file, choose Send -> Docs and it will pass it to the Docs app for uploading.
But that just adds it to your Google docs, and doesn't overwrite and previous doc of the same name.
Damn I was really hoping for decent google docs support. I use google docs alot and not having read write acces is a pain. Does anyone know if Docs to go or quick office has read wirte google docs support and have tried on the xformer?

Can you not use Google Docs via the web browser on the TF?
You can use the mobile docs site but it is very basic. The desktop site crashes the browser when I try to use it.

The way LibreOffice doesn't open my Polaris file is clearly an LO bug: it crashes trying to do a division by 0.
I'm not allowed to post a URL on this forum but I can tell you that it is bug 40686 in the freedesktop.org bugzilla.
Your best bet is to get quickoffice and doc2go. Between polaris, quickoffice, and doc2go, you should be able to do everything you want to do on-the-go.
This topic has long since evolved in my comparison thread (see sig)

What is the best word processor designed for Honeycomb thus far that gives many of the features that MS Word also gives, such as formatting options, spell check, ect.
I'm basically looking for the most complete world processor out there for Honeycomb.
Probably Polaris.. comes with the TF
Documents to GO has been my go-to app since the beginning.
It works flawlessly. Although Polaris looks a lot nicer.
Polaris looks the best but I last I tried I couldn't open a word or spreadsheet document created with it in openoffice or libreoffice (free MS office alternatives), which ruins it for me. I don't know whether they have updated or fixed this issue since I last checked..
Ohh, shoot, I haven't tried that yet. Hmm, I use openoffice on my laptop too, are you saving it in openoffice format or .doc?
I want to save them as .doc files so that I can easily switch between working on my PC with MS Word, and my TF with what ever word processor I end up using.
Have anybody tried Quickoffice Pro HD?

Wondering this as well. I want something as close as to Office as possible
Check out the link in my signature. Trust me, you are not the first one to ask this question. What is not in the review are the online programs like Google Docs and Microsoft Live Office. Both are pretty cool and the latter looks almost exactly like the real office programs!
What about the new thinkfree app?

This is a very neat UI! I just bought it and if I ever find time I will include it in my comparison. It definitely has a lot of potential although it has many shortcomings regarding formatting and TrueType interpretation. PowerPoint ("Show") seems to be affected in particular.

Since you are the guru on this, please, tested and let us know how is it and what is your opinion.
I was looking at it last night and was close to buy the app, but I prefer for you to let us know what you think.
Thank you
This post is very helpful and seems related.
Also: no one has suggested just using Microsoft Word on your desktop/laptop via VPN. I know a couple of people like to do that.
My plan is to write documents using either the onboard application or Google Docs (depending on which app works better and if I am connected), then use something like TeamViewer or Logmein to do the nitty-gritty formatting.
Thank you for the compliment but unfortunately I don't have as much time as I used to I'll do me best though since I want to know myself! I'll update my comparison thread once I did it!

I've tried a few word processing programs as I've looked for something as good as MS Word or Open Office. So far, I've not found anything that can replace these programs. All of them lack certain key features - including google docs, polaris, quick office HD, documents 2 go. I haven't tried thinkoffice yet, but it doesn't look much better. I just now tried MS Live Office, but it wouldn't work on the tab - i got a page that said I needed to use MS Explorer or Firefox to access it. It looks like the most full featured option, but unless we can get past this browser limit, it doesn't matter on the TF.
Polaris office is the best so far, though I haven't tried to open the documents in open office, so I can't speak to that problem. I used QuickOffice HD up until the 3.2 update because copy/paste in polaris was broken.
help with polaris
I need help. I am a new tf owner and I can not get polaris to work. I have tried two google and one box accounts. When I go to set up the account I get an error message saying that it can not connect to the Web server. I was able to connect to one google account once then I added files to it and could no longer connect, same error message. I even tried creating a new box account and that did not work. Any help would be great
Guys,
I recently bought the note 8.0, while my goal was not to take my regular notebook (real one..you know..papers..) with me and use the note 8.0
as the only source for being use during my day. I still have my laptop, but I prefer to be able to take the note 8.0 with me while travelling and not my laptop.
I installed apps which I think it is necessary for business, and of course, I'm using the standard premium suite apps which pre-installed, but...
I would like to hear from you your top 5-10 apps you can leave with, and please...no game (this post will come later ), business app only.
I travelling a lot, and does not have connectivity always, so I need to have offline and online app as well.
Thanks in advanced,
Tomer

For me:
TeamViewer Pro (yeah...I bought it because I use it all the time...but that's like a several hundred dollar app, but there's a free version)
Office Suite Pro 7
Dropbox and Box
Printer Share
GTasks
ES File Explorer
Those are my main ones.
This is such a great topic for discussion. I use my note 8.0 daily for business and general life stuff.
I stay organised around Evernote and GApps (Browser, Calendar, Drive, GMaiI, Google Docs, Tasks) following The Secret Weapon approach for organizing with Evernote. As for specific apps & Note-centric things....
Evernote with the widget on my home screen.
Note Buddy to launch Evernote when I pull the s-pen out and shutoff the display when I re-dock it.

It all depends on user specific needs,
for me the most useful combo is Dropbox + Folder sync + EzPdf - all important files I might need go to Dropbox folder on my PC, then after sync I never have to carry printouts with me, and ezpdf allows me to annotate the files if necessary

I have ezPDF and use it a lot. But I'm finding it's easier to import pdfs into LectureNotes for annotation. I hate not being able to erase my ink in exPDF.

Great topic.
Just bought one myself and in same situation. Going to use it for work also. I have found that a combination of Polaris, ezPDF, Officesuite Pro w/font addon, cloud service, & Google Docs works for most things. Evernote w/Skitch is OK but last I knew you have to pay to sync with other accounts so it is limited. Not sure what you do for a living but there are also some cool space design/measuring/dimension calculating apps. I also have business and fraction calculators installed. Of course Lecture Notes.
Probably leaving some out but will post if I think of something.

Evernote for note taking, to-do, and reminders

Can you tell me more about the secret weapon approach to Evernote?
I use Lecture Notes for work. Replaced the many project notebooks I used to have to juggle.
Genius Scan is useful when you need to scan something into your notebook.
Splashtop if you need remote connection to your laptop.
Cloud print to print.
Applock for time or location based locking of applications, so you can lock up the tablet at work, but not have to deal with the hassle of unlocking at home.
Droid48 for those of us who used to have an HP48 calculator.
ESFile explorer for easy access, copy and paste between files on tablet and on network, cloud based files, etc
Mobizen to mirror tablet to computer screen and use keyboard

Take a look at Notes Mobile also. Unfortunately, if you use the developer setting to do all your 2d rendering on the GPU it has a display bug - no fix and they're aware of it, and the same company has a scientific notation app which works correctly.
The up side is it's the best handwriting recognition I've seen on this device. It does substantially better than the onboard stuff does.
Until they fix the bug, I'm sorry to have purchased it but they're getting dinged enough in the Play store for it that I'm optimistic they'll eventually address the issue.

Just Google it, there's an own website for it. Basically it gives you a structure of tags to organize all's your tasks, especially your emails, too, which are kind of a task. Imo it's only useful if you use outlook in Windows to export mails to evernote. If u use Gmail for example the complete structure can also be achieved using labels, which is just another word for tag..
