I'll come back to this in a future article, hopefully. * AAS readers should also note that the old Symbian client is slightly limited in the content types and layouts that can be synced, partly because of archictecture changes and partly because of sheer screen resolution limitations. So don't panic when the sync doesn't happen immediately.* One cautionary note is that syncing through the Microsoft cloud isn't instant - I found that new notebooks and 'sections' (tabs) took multiple minutes to make it from Mac to phone. It's pretty though, and does do a good job of managing all those notes you'd gathered from years of using Symbian, Windows Phone and Windows laptops. In use, it's fast enough, though it does seem odd to see a Microsoft Office-style 'ribbon' in addition to the traditional Mac application menus.
