Advocate's Studio

I HEART ONENOTE! I have said it before here on the Studio and it is time to crow about it again. Why? Because OneNote will be the first of Microsoft’s Office products to hit the iPad and I think that is just perfect.

If you aren’t familiar with this fantastic note taking / note book application often found bundled in the Office suite, then check out my quick post about OneNote here. About a year ago, I was jumping for joy when OneNote first made it onto the iPhone, making OneNote all the more convenient and accessible. Now, just in time for Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, OneNote becomes the newest note taking and organizing tool on the ubiquitous iPad.

Like the iPhone version, OneNote for iPad is not as full featured as the desktop. You can sync and view your desktop notes on your iPad while on the go. You can also create and mail notes while out and about. You will need to activate a Windows Live account to get the syncing feature – well worth the effort as it offers a few other cool goodies, like SkyDrive.

Why OneNote instead of Evernote?

I like the visual interface – much simpler – and integration with other Office products and SkyDrive. But I use Evernote too and like it very much as well. I started with OneNote, so I do have a certain fondness born of nostalgia. Either works great though – ultimately comes down to preference.

Flockwork. iPad. Free. And now for something completely different, for MAotD, that is. A fun, smart puzzle game for your iPad called Flockwork. Puzzle games tend to be my favorites and this is a nice example and a great first offering from a young, woman-led development team called ReignDesign / ReignGames. The point of the game is to move your sheep to safety. The sheep move together in a flock and you will need to use your finger to guide them. There are 80 progressively harder levels of the puzzle. You can bounce sheep off walls, squeeze them through gaps, build bridges and, hopefully, dodge hungry wolves. Guide them to targets, collect stars and avoid hazards. But most importantly, don’t let them escape. This is a Game Center compatible game, with Leaderboards and Achievements and sports retina-friendly visuals. This game certainly earns its tagline of “addictive sheep herding!” Give this free game a try and try not not herd sheep for hours. You can check out the trailer video of the game at http://bit.ly/flockworktrailer
