Five interesting things about Microsoft's Office Mobile 2010
MS-Watch | at | by Mike
Back in August, Microsoft and Nokia announced a partnership that would see Microsoft Office applications ported onto Nokia smartphones, starting with the business-centric Nokia Eseries. At the time, the move seemed a good one for Nokia, given that it would help strengthen its competitive position within the North American marketplace, and a good one for Microsoft, since it would strengthen its business-mobility segment by porting a version of Office onto the Symbian operating system.
But, as I wrote at the time, it didn't seem like the greatest deal for Windows Mobile; if Microsoft's productivity applications exist on other operating systems, the argument went, then there would be fewer reasons for either the enterprise or small and midsize businesses to back Windows Mobile.
