Office Mobile 2010 hits beta, available now for WinMo 6.5

Office 2010 is getting a big companion piece for handsets in the form of Office Mobile 2010, which is being made available today in concert with the suite's beta release. It's a pretty major overhaul thanks to comprehensive, WYSIWYG editing capability in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, the addition of SharePoint Workspace Mobile for managing Office documents off your office's servers, and a trick Bluetooth mode for PowerPoint that lets you effectively use your handset as a second screen by showing you your slide notes in real time while running a presentation off your PC. You can grab it now off Windows Marketplace in beta form, but be warned: it's only for 6.5, and we're being told that it won't be back-ported to 6.0 or 6.1 for the retail release.

I installed it, but it only gave me Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and Sharepoint.

Not Outlook like the screen suggests.

Dear Microsoft,

The Stylus is dead. Make your apps touch friendly.

Sincerely,
Everyone.
