I wish it felt like it was made for the Mac -- hopefully they'll work on it more.

- Standard Mac keyboard shortcuts don't work (ie. ctrl-a & ctrl-e to move to beginning and end of lines)

- Can't drag a picture from the Finder into the OneNote

The lack of emacs keybinds is because they don't use standard Cocoa controls; unfortunately it's endemic to the entire Office suite on Mac.

Yeah, I just noticed the "can't drag pictures in" issue. If anybody from the OneNote team is reading these comments, this is a pretty big missing feature. Mac OS is all about drag-and-drop, and a well-behaved app (especially one that is supposed to be a notebook-type thing) should be pretty robust in its d&d support.

Interestingly, ^A moves to the start of line but ^E does nothing. Strange oversight.

Nitro Javascript engine? It could be an important difference between this test and FB's app. Safari gets it. It seems ambiguous still whether UIWebView users get it.

A more apples-to-apples comparison would be to put it in a iOS app running UIWebView and see if the performance is maintained. I'd certainly be interested in the results.

It's not ambiguous. On iOS, only Safari can JIT JavaScript. This is because Apple doesn't trust your app enough to let you made code pages. It also doesn't trust the app it makes when you install a web app to your home page (and it's not just a Safari bookmark).

I suspect the latter may change, but I wouldn't count on the former.

Performance is also great in a wrapped version. The bottleneck we had to solve was in event management, the GPU & compositor not in the JavaScript execution.

You can also do javascript with it. I can't speak to it personally but friends have used Script# (http://scriptsharp.com/) for client-side javascript with good results. Never heard of anyone attempting node.js with it... yet.

There are some C# to JS compilers, script# and JSIL for example, yeah. But none are officially supported by Xamarin. I was just curious why they focus on all possible platforms but the web.

scriptsharp: I saw it used/had to help maintain for a rather big project...never again... :(

very cool. i'd throw some money at it if it appeared on kickstarter.

it seems like a great alternative but what kills it for me is a lack of IMAP support.

Yeah that is surprising. I would have just assumed they offered that if you hadn't mentioned it.

they offer MS exhange support instead. which is really nice. esp. also due to push support.

I'm currently testing this, took me a second to figure out the setting for android/exchange

user: \user@domain.com password: password server: m.hotmail.com

i think it's just exchange 'activesync' so it'll work on your iphone but not on your desktop mail (mac mail for me)
