According to the text describing the OneClip app, OneClip is meant to allow users to "copy once, paste anywhere."

OneClip is currently in internal beta. There are a dozen reviews of the Windows Phone 8/8.1 version of OneClip in the Windows Phone Store. From the description of the app:

Actually, someone did think of this earlier. .Back in 2006, then-Microsoft-Chief-Technology-Officer Ray Ozzie demonstrated a Web clipboard prototype.

I've asked Microsoft officials when the company plans to make OneClip publicly available across various platforms. No word back so far.

Revolve is designed to integrate aspects of a calendar and contact manager, and presents users with information about people they're going to meet with that the app collects from multiple sources.

Because Revolve is a Garage-developed incubation app, it may or may not ever become an "official" Microsoft-branded application. As of last fall, the mission of Microsoft's Garage was to bring out side-project apps, plus consumer-focused apps from various parts of the company, on an experimental, cross-platform basis.

Earlier this week, word leaked about other new Microsoft productivity applications that are in development, including a new lightweight email/chat app meant to be a complement to Outlook that's called Flow; a lightweight document-collaboration app which may be called Flip; and a lightweight project-management/task management app known as Highlander.

Flow, Flip and Highlander are all examples of the kinds of new mobile-first, cross-platform productivity applications that Microsoft is building.

Speaking of project management, Microsoft made available to testers on May 21 test versions of the coming new versions of Project 2016 and Visio 2016 -- two more pieces of its Office 2016 suite of Windows desktop applications due out later this year.
