Microsoft, Nokia announce Office Mobile coming to Nokia phones
This is the first time Office Mobile will be available on handsets that don't run Windows Mobile. The two companies have announced plans to work together on a range of mobile solutions. One of the key points is that is that Nokia's Symbian powered smartphones will be able to run mobile versions of Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and OneNote. Users will be able to "view, edit, create, and share" Office documents from their mobile phones.
Nokia is also working on improved Exchange ActiveSync support, and expects to roll out support for other features including mobile access to intranet portals build on Microsoft SharePoint Server.

Oh DownloadSquad. I had hoped you would stay above the wretched Silverlight enabled embeds.

The Office Mobile annoucement is trivial since there's been third party support for Office documents on other mobile platforms for years. The real intrigue here is how far this relationship will go .. WinCE on Nokia devices etc ..

great...more M$ cludge.
'Word is cludgy, and full of security holes.By default it allows to run hidden applications and keeps up to 20 versions of the original documents.'(just say no to microsoft)
Matter of fact, people in positions of power have been caught red handed due to such..now exactly what does that say about M$ when they have a 'delete and remove' clause in thier EULA?? Not a whole lot.
I for one won't be using M$ products anytime soon.
