So, what do you do if you have copious handwritten notes and like OneNote? To be honest, I do not know. There are good iPad apps for handwritten notetaking, but they do not have versions for Windows or Mac. Evernote exists on all the devices, but its support for handwritten notes via Skitch is kludgy, at best.

OneNote on iPad?
There is no good news for OneNote devotees. Your choices are the newly-released OneNote app by Microsoft, Outline app by Aqrate Software, or Mobile Noter for iPad. Outline allows viewing of any OneNote files in Dropbox, but does not allow editing. Microsoft's app syncs to cloud storage via your LiveID, but you can only edit the typed text part of the note; any handwritten notes are not only not-editable, they are not even displayed -- they show up as "[ink]". MobileNoter is free only for 30 days; after that you need to pay $15/yr if you want sync functionality. MobileNoter does not allow you to edit existing OneNote notebooks, just view them. [3/11/2012 Correction, thanks to oblacksmith: MobileNoter does allow viewing and editing existing OneNote notebooks. I still don't think this app is worth using since there are a lot of complaints in the reviews.]
