For all of you who've been asking (and patiently waiting) for a version of OneNote for your Android phones, we have great news: OneNote Mobile for Android is now available! Download it from the Android Market app store today!

See our blog post for more details.

**I cannot install OneNote Mobile for Android?**OneNote Mobile for Android requires Android version 2.3 or higher.  You can check your version of Android in settings and make sure you are up-to-date.  OneNote Mobile for Android will not work on older versions of Android. It is currently only available on the Android Marketplace.

**Is OneNote Mobile for Android available in my location?**OneNote Mobile for Android is available in the following markets:

Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Honduras, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Jamaica, Korea, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Niger, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Trinidad and Tobago, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States, Uruguay, and Venezuela.

**Where is <my favorite feature>? When will it be added?**Since we use the app, too, we want it to be as awesome as possible. We listen to all feedback and consider it for future releases. Your feedback helps us know which features are most important to you. However, for a variety of reasons we cannot discuss planned features, their priorities, or the dates that we expect these features to be released.

**Why can't I see all of my content in OneNote Mobile for Android?**The current release supports text, images, checkboxes, bulleted lists, and table rendering. Other content types (including ink and math equations) are not yet supported. We prioritized support for different types of content based on the top needs of most mobile users. We will continue to evaluate and prioritize additional content types for future releases.

**Why are my notes going to the "Personal (Web)" notebook, and why is it needed?**The current OneNote Mobile for iPhone app needs this notebook to exist to synchronize the "Unfiled Notes" section. There is currently no way to change the location of "Unfiled Notes" in OneNote Mobile for iPhone. Do not delete this notebook (you'll see it show up again if you do). If you prefer to have all of your notes in one notebook, we recommend using the "Personal (Web)" notebook. You can open this notebook on the OneNote PC client from the   http://www.skydrive.com site. Open the "Personal (Web)" notebook in the web app and then click "Open in OneNote". From now on, you will be able to see your notes from the PC client.

**Why am I asked to upgrade?**The free download of OneNote Mobile can be used to sync up to 500 notes with your device. If you choose not to upgrade to the unlimited version, you can still view, sync, and delete any of your existing notes even after you've reached the 500 notes limit. However, you will no longer be able to edit your notes or create new ones on your Android device.

    The ability to view password protected sections on the mobile app is 'must have' critical feature, Once you figure out how cool the program is and start to really use it, it soon becomes totally useless due to the lack of view/edit password protected sections, really, what is the point of the program if it cant secure your information. And if you do secure it, then you cant access it on mobile, what a shame, I really hope this gets attention, but it looks like people have been complaining about it to Microsoft for over a year. Microsoft just never can get it completely right, always has to be some ridiculous showstopper.

    Was really happy to see the app come to the market, but it is extremely watered down if you want to add anything, I thought it would suit my galaxy note perfectly but no audio recording and inking?  This app is only good to read your notebooks but I could do that anyway by saving them as a PDF and using ezPDF reader, atleast that has inking options.

    First let me say how much I love and use OneNote.  I was very excited to see OneNote for Android and iOS come out.  I have the following suggestions to make it even better.

    1. The app is extremely large on the Android.  I would like to see it be able to be moved to the SD Card to run there.  It ate up a ton of space on my phone's internal memory and I had to uninstall it because of how much space it took up.

    2.  In conjuction with item 1, make it so that the default location to store notes is on the SD Card.  Due to the amount of information that I keep on OneNote, if fills memory on the phone fast when trying to sync all my notes.

    3.  Not happy about syncing to skydrive.  Since my employees and I use OneNote to keep track of customers information, we have our OneNote files sitting on a share on our server.  It would be very nice if we could sync to sharepoint or better yet, WebDAV or straight to the Windows Share.

    1. Be able to read passworded sections of the notebook.

    Thanks,

    TB
