OneNote app for ipads
An "app" version on a mobile OS is being compared to a full-blown desktop application on a real, full-function OS.

Basically, what devices have Microsoft Word on a touchscreen device that enables freehand writing? I'd be ideal if I could use Microsoft Word to do this since my past notes are in that format.
Click my link and go to 9:15 in the video. OneNote does this. Think of it as Microsoft Word meets Microsoft Paint (keep reading...). Just like in Word, you can format things as you usually would. Just like paint, you can insert a text box anywhere (literally a single click in One Note), or grab a 'pen' or 'brush' and write about it. It installs itself as a printer, so you can 'print' PowerPoint slides or PDFs to it , and simply type next to the originals, or over them.
As far as organization, think of it as 'binders' and 'tabs,' (or notebooks and sections) or if you like MS Word, it would be 'folders' and 'documents.' They all stay loaded. They all auto save (there isn't even a 'save' button). You are a click away from a search box that will search through all your different classes and lectures very rapidly. You're also not more than as long as it takes to click on one to two tabs from opening an old lecture (stays pre loaded). You can freehand on/in notebooks with a stylus (perhaps even your finger, depending on how it's set up) rapidly.
When it comes to note taking applications, I find OneNote to blow competitors away.

So I'd have to get the full blown version, not just the app, to get all those features, right? Not sure that's possible for an iPad, but let me know if so. Seems like the version I currently have is a scaled down version
