Update: This is probably unrelated, but Microsoft's Mac BU just called its own presser for Thursday, so if you're looking to spend the night weaving wild nonsensical conspiracy theories, we'd say all the pieces are in place.
Update 2: Told you it was nothing too out there -- the Wall Street Journal says Microsoft will announce it's working on a version of Office for Nokia phones. Anyone surprised? Didn't think so.
This looks good!
rofl !! I chocked to see my N95-8GB like this :-P
Yep, I'd definitely go with Exchange, this has been building up for a while and since the Microsoft speaker is from the _business division_, I'd expect something pretty straight-forward. I'd guess system-wide Exchange support with remote admin features for future Eseries.
my guess is some kind of mobile office support or something
Technically Nokia already does support 3 mobile OS platforms: S60, S40, and Maemo.
I can understand why people would forget about S40 but it really is its own independent OS.
Mail for Exchange works pretty well on my Eseries as does QuickOffice. I do not see the need for M$ up in my S60
And there goes QuickOffice...
This might explain why QuickOffice suddenly became free for many S60 users. I'll take that, no need to go all Microsoft, as I don't use word to begin with, now if openoffice would create an symbian version, then thats news.
What's missing from this picture is the 'why' of why Microsoft is doing this. The answer is Google Chrome OS; more detail here: http://bit.ly/XhN1R
Office word 2003 and 2007 after 60 days cannot be sold in US due to copyright infringement...
So good luck nokia with your word doc syncs to.. erm.. nothing? LOL
that won't last for long...
