When you travel as much as I do, you constantly need access to plane reservation numbers, flight details, hotel and rental car reservations – store them in a special note in OneNote and my phone can immediately display this for me. The screen size isn’t big enough to handle the full user interface, but a cut-down version that specially marks stuff that is currently important is just what I need.

I’ve enquired about support for synchronisation over SkyDrive, and have been told that it’s coming shortly, and I’ve asked for a “hot note” app for the iPhone too.

There’s an Outline Enterprise version coming soon that will add native support for SharePoint syncing too, and that will be a “$$$” purchase instead of the “$” of Outline+. If you use Office 365: OneNote If you subscribe to Office 365 for Word, then you also have access to OneNote, Microsoft’s capable app for note-taking and collaboration. Outline is limited to 30 pages, syncing over USB, and is free, while Outline+ has no page limit, syncs over USB, Wi-Fi or Dropbox, and costs £10.49.

There are two versions – Outline and Outline+ – and this is a fast-moving company, releasing updates and new functionality every month or so. I thought it required OneDrive or some cloud storage location to even begin using the app.
