OneNote: handwriting recognition of maths equations would be extremely useful to scientists, teachers and students of maths (if it is what I understand it to be). I have friends and relations in the field who find using MS Word’s Equations Editor tedious in the extreme.

Thanks to you and Chris and Hugh.
One thing I was able to glean from the web page that hasn’t been mentioned is the existence of a web app. This *seems* to open the possibility that any database located on a web server could be accessed and edited on any phone with a decent browser. Those of use who keep our data on Dropbox *might* literally be able to access it anywhere. Quite an improvement if I read it right.

If I remember correctly it is called SharePoint. But there is also something similar to GDocs I think it is called Office Live. But from my tentative experimentation, I don’t think the two interact. That would be sweet.

The plan is for there to be a OneNote component to Office Live by the time it leaves beta. It wasn’t available yet last time I checked, but perhaps that has changed.
There are already various mobile options for accessing OneNote documents on the go… there’s an iPhone app and a Windows Mobile app. I’d imagine an Android one is in the pipeline.

Yeah. I found a better page on this:

OneNote 2010 Investments Overview
1. Universal Access
We repeatedly hear that access to your notes and the ability to take them anywhere is very important, whether you?re at work, home or on the go. OneNote 2007 already provides offline availability and seamless sync, and a basic OneNote application for Windows Mobile. But we knew that was just the beginning. With OneNote 2010 we?ve added:
-Sync to Cloud (Windows Live): Your notebooks sync and are available anywhere from any machine. Of course this is in addition to all the existing ways you can sync notebooks (file shares, SharePoint, USB drives etc.)
-OneNote Web App: You can access and edit your entire notebook from a browser. Even on a machine that doesn?t have OneNote installed.
-OneNote Mobile: A more complete OneNote version for Windows Mobile phones. Syncs whole notebooks. Syncs directly to the cloud. No need to tether your device. Richer editing support.
Note: The above are not yet available in the Tech Preview unfortunately. We?re still finishing some integration work for sync to Windows Live.
There are, of course, other things listed.
