I am an avid note taker in spiral notebooks. Have just discovered OneNote, I have to say that I am in love. AND, the fact that it syncs in SkyDrive and automatically with my iPhone makes working twith this great. If I'm using my PC in a presentation, i can stil take actions in my phone.

This is an interesting article, but how many teachers - especially in high school - are really going to be okay with a student using a cell phone or laptop throughout class? Even if the kid is actually taking notes, it's more likely the teacher's going to assume he's texting and either make him put the phone away or take it away from him entirely.

It's not as big of an issue if he's just hitting "record" and putting down his phone, but still - some schools don't even allow kids to have electronic devices like that in the classroom at all.

Just a thought.

I got to know about OneNote this week having just bought Office Pro, and quite like it so far. However, I'm wondering if notes I've created on my PC at home and are working on away from home can be accessed online from a PC that doesn't have OneNote installed, just using a browser, the way you can with Google Drive documents, for example?

Yeh. And Windows Phone has a lot of other apps which can help you in study. For my French course I use Translator (to get the translation and correct pronouncing) and Tutorle (to memorize new words).

my favourite feature of windows phone is the calendar-synch, because all facebook birthdays were synched with my hotmail calendar and are now stored on my windows phone. Now I ever get a remember to someones birthday! Also I can make an appointment with my computer and some seconds later it is also stored on my LG! Similarly to this one note feature ;)

I love the integration, I wish I had a tablet w/ OneNote or a Windows Phone when I was in college. I use it all the time for just about everything.
