Microsoft said Tuesday that more than 30,000 people have signed up to test its forthcoming OneNote application when the final beta is released later this month. The application, which aims to create a digital equivalent of a notepad and paper, was first shown in November and is due to ship mid-year as one of two new members in Microsoft's Office family of products. With OneNote users can type or enter handwritten notes anywhere on a page, making document creation a less structured affair than with Microsoft Word. Users can also drag images or graphs onto a page and attach audio clips to their notes.
