I knew it was just bound to happen again, but just a couple of weeks after I posted my full review of Quickoffice Premier 4.5 they updated the software. They are constantly improving the software and updated it a couple of times while I was working on my review. The latest and greatest version, Quickoffice Premier 5.0 brings Microsoft Office 2007 support, printer support (Eseries devices), tighter integration with Adobe Reader LE and more to this amazing application.

Is there a lower TCO for Windows Mobile at your company?

Windows Mobile is often compared to BlackBerry, especially now that Microsoft has integrated Direct Push technology into their servers and devices. There is a new tool that compares the Total Cost of Ownership between different server solutions (primarily RIM BlackBerry) and Windows Mobile. Do you agree with the results of the tool?

iPhone update also adds IMAP email and Passcode improvements

iPhone update also adds IMAP email and Passcode improvements

As Jason blogged, Apple released an update for the Apple iPhone last night that was geared towards security updates for Safari. However, there were also a couple other minor improvements that actually may be quite important for iPhone owners. Prior to the update I only saw Inbox, Trash, Drafts (if I had any started), and Sent in my 4smartphone hosted Exchange IMAP mailbox. I now have visible access to ALL of my IMAP folders, as it should have been with true IMAP, in addition to folders called RSS Feeds (with subfolders labeled Microsoft at Home and at Work), Sync Issues (with subfolders for Conflicts, Local Failures, and Server Failures). These additional folders may be specific to my IMAP account and I'll have to check them out some more. The mail program still doesn't manage email like it should with IMAP (as seen with Yahoo! Mail), but getting access to my folders is a step closer.

Listen and respond to emails safely while driving

Listen and respond to emails safely while driving

People use their mobile devices while driving and this practice of interacting with one hand and trying to read a small display is dangerous. A new Bluetooth solution has been announced that allows you to listen to and even respond to emails without ever taking your hands off the wheel or eyes off of the road.
