Mobility Electronics, Inc., a leading provider of innovative portable computing solutions for the mobile computer user, announced the public beta release of its Cutting Edge Software subsidiary's Quickoffice - Premier Version 7.0. The new release is the first and only available Palm OS® Office suite to include support for native PC-created Microsoft® Word, Excel, and PowerPoint® file formats. Support for native file formats is provided for files saved on expansion storage cards, or those received via infrared beaming, through Bluetooth file transfers, or as e-mail attachments.
"Quickoffice Premier represents a major improvement in mobile e-mail for Palm Powered devices," said Michael Mace, chief competitive officer for PalmSource, Inc. "By enabling users to open Microsoft Office files without converting them first on a PC, Quickoffice Premier extends the Palm OS advantage in working with Microsoft Office files."
The capability to open and use native format Word, Excel and PowerPoint attachments gives immediate benefit to users of all currently available Palm OS smartphones. Quickoffice Premier is compatible with the Handspring Treo 270 and 300, Kyocera 6035 and 7135, Samsung SPH-I300, SPH-I330 and soon-to-be-released SPH-I500, as well as the recently announced Palm Tungsten W. In combination with leading e-mail solutions like Snapperfish Ltd's SnapperMail, office file attachments can be opened and forwarded to anyone.
