Microsoft updated its Office software for the Mobile 5.0
platform, enabling mobile users of Excel charts or edit
documents with graphics in Word while maintaining the file's PC format.
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates unveiled Tuesday the newest
version of the Windows Mobile software platform at the
company's annual mobile and embedded developers conference in
Las Vegas.
New features in Windows Mobile 5.0 touted by Gates include
stronger memory storage for data management, more platform
flexibility for customizations, updated Microsoft Office
software for enhanced productivity , and Windows Media Player
10 Mobile for more multimedia options.
Gates said the improvements in Windows Mobile 5.0 will enable
developers to "revolutionize how customers use mobile devices."
The new platform's flexibility lets developers plug in
technologies such as "push-to-talk" or video calling to
differentiate themselves from competitors, according to a
statement released by Microsoft.
Mobile 5.0 also supports higher-bandwidth networks, Wi-Fi for
smartphones , and improved Bluetooth support. Increased
options for one-handed keyboard navigation will help customers
access information without a stylus.
The platform features more efficient and secure access that
will retain information even when a device's battery is
depleted, the company said.
Microsoft updated its Office software for the Mobile 5.0
platform, enabling road warriors to use Excel charts or edit
documents with graphics in Word while maintaining the file's PC
format. Further, the company said it created a new Power Point
Mobile application that lets users view or rehearse
presentations on their Pocket PC.
Windows Media Player 10 Mobile synchronizes music and video
files from a PC or downloaded from the Internet onto mobile
devices.
Microsoft said Mobile 5.0 has gone through extensive security
testing and meets U.S. government security requirements for
I.T. products. |
