Quickoffice 6.0 enables remote
file access and bolsters enterprise document

Quickoffice, Inc., the leading global provider of mobile office productivity software and solutions, announced it will demo Quickoffice 6.0, the latest release of its award-winning mobile office software, at The Smartphone Show, October 21-22 at Earls Court 2 in London.

The suite, which will be made commercially available in early 2009, enables users to remotely access, browse and open files stored in Internet cloud services, such as Apple’s MobileMe iDisk, FilesAnywhere and Box.net, etc.

The software also allows access to files on corporate drives and servers, including Microsoft SharePoint.

In addition, the 6.0 release includes new security features for using encrypted and password-protected Word and Excel documents. With these additions, Quickoffice continues to drive mobile professional productivity to new levels. Users now have unprecedented document access, reducing the need to store files on the phone while increasing security to protect documents stored locally.

“Over the last year, we’ve greatly enhanced our flagship product, focusing on improving the functionality for our customers,” said Paul Moreton, vice president of product management at Quickoffice. “This increased usability perfectly aligns with our extended vision of enabling mobile professionals to access, view, edit and share documents when away from the office. We’re proud to showcase our latest software and services on the S60 platform during The Smartphone Show.”

Quickoffice 6.0 also adds several other new features, including a file manager that handles all file types and support for opening, editing and saving back to Zip files. In addition, Quickoffice enables users to view charts in Office 2007 Excel spreadsheets including real-time recalculation.

The software suite is optimized for viewing and editing, and includes superior document ’round-trip’ capabilities to retain file formatting and maintain data integrity. Quickoffice has also updated its Adobe Mobile Reader for S60 with the latest Adobe engine, providing faster response and better handling of complex PDF documents.
