OneNote is one of my favorite apps on my tablet pc. Sorely lacking on the mobile version is the ability to ink a note.

I don't miss the ink support, but I do miss not being able to sync the same notes with multiple devices. I'm sure most people aren't held back by this, but it would sure help me out a ton!

Now that you mention it, I have noticed it too. Wish it had one common notebook for just mobile notes, just like the way IE has Mobile Favorites.

Yeah that makes me nuts too.

I've already given MS's Scott Horn my two'pennorth at CES on this subject.

My main two issues are:

1) You can't store OneNote data on a memory card. Try doing a voice recording in normal memory and see just how quickly the thing fills up!

2) You can't sync the OneNote copy of the OneNote Mobile notebook with a server store.

Until those are fixed OneNote mobile will just be another version of sync'd Outlook notes, instead of the mobile notetaking tool it should be.

Oh, those are good ones too. Hopefully version 2 will be amazing. :D
