Updating

The Microsoft company issued the updated solution of processing of notes and project managements of OneNote for the operating system iOS. It is the first release of corporation for iPad. OneNote the only office product of Microsoft postponed for iOS. In January, 2011 the company provided release of this application as well for iPhone.

According to the statement of Microsoft, OneNote 1.3 works on iPad in "complete screen permission" now, but not in the form of the "stretched" iPhone application. The technical writer of the Office group Michael Oldenburg noted in the blog that updating works on both iPad and iPad 2 devices. "Directly since OneNote launch on iPhone which took place almost a year ago our clients repeated the same request – to release the version which can be applied much easier on the big iPad screen", - Oldenburg told.

It is possible to load OneNote 1.3 free of charge, but there is a restriction in 500 user records - the number including as existing, and newly created notes. To lift all limits for iPhone, the American users should pay $4.99 or $14.99 for similar transaction for iPad.

The blogger of ZDNet Mary Joe Foley (Mary Jo Foley) first reported on December 12 that Microsoft is also going to release versions of the client of Lync 2010 for iPhone and iPad.

Lync – the unified Microsoft platform for exchange of voice messages within the enterprise, instant messaging, a video chat and online conferences. On December 11, 2011 Lync 2010 for Windows Phone 7 devices appeared in app store of Microsoft – Marketplace.

Release

In 2003 Apple surprised the world with release of iTunes for Windows. Apple then showed: the conflict of the companies cooled down. It seems that now it sputtered out again or, at least, was considerably cooled: for the first time Microsoft released the software package from the list of Microsoft Office for iPhone. It is OneNote, the multi-purpose application of planning, creation of notes and collection of information. Users can synchronize notebooks of OneNote by means of Windows Live SkyDrive or get access to notes online through Office Web Apps.

From Microsoft it is an adventurous step. One of the few advantages of Windows Phone 7 OS withheld over iPhone (as well as Android), is support of native Microsoft Office applications. Theoretically, Microsoft can take a position at which to the users of Office wishing to have an opportunity for work with documents of Office and data in the movement, it is better to pass to Windows Mobile Express. Nevertheless, the company "rose" so long that Apple took control over mobile space, and third-party software developers "curved" software to lead Office to iOS, including DataViz Documents for Go, Quickoffice Connect Mobile Suite and Byte Office Squared.

Microsoft fell into an awkward situation, among the disappointed, reproaching and complaining users who want to obtain easily from the Windows computers data and documents on iPhone. The mentioned users will not begin to refuse the devices (at least, not for Windows Phone 7) - they have alternatives for the Windows data access. What conclusions will be drawn by Microsoft after such collapse to cope with requests of users? The company can, of course, continue to ignore threat of iPhone, but this strategy will never come true.

Perhaps, Microsoft did not hear complaints of users of iPhone about lack of native Microsoft Office applications for iOS. Third-party versions of programs can qualitatively be flush with what Redmond issued in the telephone version of Windows.

Of course, questions remain: whether other related Microsoft Office applications for iPhone after OneNote will follow? How about OneNote (or other Microsoft Office applications) on the mobile platforms other than iOS? Microsoft does not speak now, but hints that she very much wants to inform of Office the greatest possible number of users, irrespective of the device or the platform.

Takeshi Numoto, the vice president of Microsoft corporation for the Office direction, announcing OneNote for iOS, noted in the blog: "On PC or on Mac, on the mobile phone or online by means of Office Web Apps on different browsers, we still provide Office on devices, platforms and operating systems of our clients using it. It should be information, the ideas, but not the device. Isn't it?"
