This story originally appeared as " Microsoft to make OneNote available for free for Macs" on ZDNet. Gerade auf Apple Systemen (Mac und iOS) gibts Alternativen genug. Für Evernote je nach Modell jährlich bis zu knapp 100 Euro zu verlangen (Business Version mal außen vorgelassen), ist eine Frechheit und jeder der das unterstütz, ist selbst schuld. I've asked Microsoft officials for comment on these OneNote futures. Wenn man sie ganz direkt vergleichen will, dann ist OneNote vorn, aber nur, weil es kostenlos ist. As part of its campaign, Microsoft is also planning to open up more of the OneNote programming interfaces to encourage third-party developers to write applications that build on OneNote, my sources say. Microsoft is battling other note-taking applications, especially Evernote, in the quest to be users' cross-platform note-taking app of choice.

Microsoft may roll out the OneNote version for Mac separately and earlier, however, as it has done with its Metro-Style/Windows Store version of OneNote. I'm betting the new OneNote for Mac will be part of the updated Office for Mac suite which is expected to arrive later this year. Office Lens is an app that uses optical character recognition (OCR) and a smartphone camera to allow users to sync snapshots to the cloud. The Clipper service will sync links between PC/device browsers and phones. Microsoft will make available a new OneNote Clipper service and Office Lens as part of the updated free releases of OneNote, my sources are saying. Microsoft already offers versions of its OneNote app for the iPad and iPhone, as well as for Android phones, but not yet for Mac. The xScreen Is Ideal for Portable Gaming on Your Xbox Series S.
