Apple iPhone Getting Microsoft Office Documents To Go

Categories: 3g, Apple, Microsoft, iphone

When the first Apple iPhone hit the market, it was largely targeted at the consumer market. When the iPhone 3G came along, it added Exchange support and some other doo-dahs that made it little more business-friendly. Well, it's about to take the next leap. While the iPhone 3G is still lacking in the copy-and-paste department, it will soon be able to create, edit, and send a variety of Microsoft Office files via Documents To Go. You may recognize the Documents to Go name from its BlackBerry, Palm, Windows Mobile, and Symbian incarnations and now it's getting ready for the iPhone too. Read More

Microsoft is reportedly very interested in pushing Silverlight on Apple’s devices. But it’s well known that Apple ultimately controls what software runs on the iPhone - so good luck Microsoft. However, the story is quite different when it comes to the G1 Via Mobilewhack

Since the introduction of the Apple iPhone on January the 9th, the world has gone touch pad crazy, touch pad technology is the way of the future and many companies have heard the call and made their own touch pad phones in direct competition with the iPod. Now is touchscreen, the iPhone has its own mobile category (The iPhone Killer), almost all manufacturers realize that if they want to sell their smartphones they should label them as "iphone killer", it is not enough to have a full featured smartphone if is not a iphone killer and everyday you see how desperate they are just adding touchscreen to make their devices look like an iphone instead of adding new features.

Terry Myerson, corporate vice president for Exchange, talks to PressPass about the importance of the new agreement between Microsoft and Apple to offer built-in support for Exchange on the iPhone, and the increasing popularity of Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 among mobile professionals.

Categories: Adobe, Apple, Microsoft, Multimedia, online

Today Microsoft chairman and mastermind, Bill Gates, announced that the software giant is giving away million of dollars in developer applications with a new iniciative called DreamSpark, which will provide professional software tools available at no charge to high school and university students worldwide. Wow, good software samaritan, we all love Microsoft, we really do. The problem here is that for Microsoft it is nothing more than another Netscape, why? See it this way, why on earth would you like to give away professional softwares at not charge if in the end you won't end up earning twice what you have already given? It is an investment and giving away those applications only hurts the Microsoft competition. This time is Adobe, which Microsoft chose as its favorite enemy. Adobe and Microsfot danced a Tango for a very long time, the Tango is an amazing dance, where you must do your best to harmoniously orchestrate the must beautiful movements, the Tango ended being a disgraceful dance and Microsoft has decided to step in Adobe turf, competing directly with Adobe hardcore applications. To achieve this new attack Microsoft created and is intensively marketing, Expression Studio, Expression Web, Expression Blend, Expression Design and Expression ...
