Last week we had a poll which asked how many hands you tend to use while using your phone. We had some great responses, of which some were quite surprising. David and I ended up discussing in depth, so if you are interested, go back to last week's episode at msmobileshow.com/008. You can also see the poll results at … http://msmobileshow.com/008/
A special shout-out to Vernon's brother, Pete, who recently discovered podcasts after years of badgering from his big brother. So far he has been listening to the Dave Ramsey Show, and maybe, just maybe, he will be listening to this episode on his Galaxy S4. He did recommend the app Podcast Addict, which can be found in the Google Play store. If you hear the show through your Android device, let us know which app you prefer!
Another shout-out is in order to Robert Shurbet, also known as The Cheeky Taurus. As some of you know, I have been debating on which phone I would use to replace my wife Anna's Lumia 920 that recently died. Robert was willing to part with a device of his for a very reasonable price, and my wife and I thank him for that. Thanks!
Want to make a hands-free phone call to someone and put them on speaker phone?

Steps: "Hey, Cortana." --> "Call [name of contact], mobile, on speaker"
Two friends stab each other over iOS or Android argument.

Episode 7 - Windows 10 Mobile
Windows Phone technical preview 10? Windows 10 for phone technical preview? W10TPfp? It turns out we don't really know what to call what we just installed on our phones, but that didn't stop us from talking about it. Despite not having a specific Microsoft service to discuss, we still managed to share our personal app, music, and podcast picks, but not before sharing the affection and distain we have for what we have seen so far of Windows 10 Mobile. Lacking sleep and a dedicated producer, we still manage to slip a lame joke or two in amongst our analysis of what Microsoft enthusiasts have been trialing the past few days. Enjoy!
Bryan Hinkle encourages Microsoft Mobile enthusiasts to build on his concept of an app that helps Windows Phone users share with companies that need a Windows Phone app, encouraging them to invest the time in building one.
Darrell Prichard reminds us and the listeners that Microsoft Virtual Academy is a wonderful resource for gaining knowledge and experience with a variety of Microsoft services and software. All for free!
Microsoft releases the latest version of the Windows 10 Mobile technical preview. We discuss the key new apps.
If you are running the technical preview on your mobile device, please take time to share your thoughts through the Windows Feedback app.

OneNote -> Notebooks -> Sections -> Pages
Can change background chrome to resemble a three-ring binder. Especially useful for handwriting because of the lines.
Big difference between OneNote and Word, it that is designed for unfinished work.
Search all the things!
Sync everywhere - Multiple users can edit shared documents at the same time, whether they are online at the time or not. If there are version sync issues, the merging is very easy.
Tip: If you know several users are in the document at the same time, take a moment to ensure that you are on the latest version before editing.
Recent OneNote API helped add in a few new features, including:
Windows Phone
Absolutely great! Not too many features to clutter it up. Very smooth app and integration.
Windows Universal
Very good for touch, but still has plenty of features.
iOS
Free
Good, but is tougher on a small-screen device.
Android
Free. Can't beat free!
PC
Really love the formatting shortcuts.
Mac
Very similar to OneNote for Windows.
Web
Should be the way that you all try it out. Great tool for students. Nearly all of the functionality of the PC (desktop) version. Doesn’t quite have the “solid” feel that we like with the desktop version.
