How valuable is ON MObile?

[Allen]

I've been heavily using ON2007 for about a year on a tablet with great
success. I've converted to an almost paperless work mode, and it's becomming
a model for others in my organization. Seeing the limitations of the mobile
version (not able to have multiple sections on the mobile, etc) how valuable
is the mobile version in real life?

Is it worth making the change from the Blackberry to a Smartphone, which
would be done for this use?

ON Mobile is intended just to get notes on mobile and then import them
in the notebook, so it will not be useful to you.

To expand a bit. ON Mobile's forte' is taking snapshots and voice recordings
with your mobile phone and transferring those snippets into a specific
mobile folder on OneNote (im)Mobile. While you can add pages on the
desktop..to the mobile section.. and have that sync'd to the mobile device,
with limited content, this partnership is not designed to carry your OneNote
Notebook around on a phone.

I would think if you are a Real-estate agent or Insurance adjuster, it might
be useful for adhoc captures and memory joggers.

Note that ON mobile was designed with Smartphones in mind, not Pocket PCs
(WM professional devices). There is no support for the touch screen on those
devices. Yes you can pull up the on-screen keyboard and type, but you cannot
draw pictures. Seems silly to me that a mobile version of a program that
lends itself so well to the pen input capabilities of a tablet PC was
written without touch screen support on the mobile.
