Office 2007 Standard Microsoft to show Office Mobi

Microsoft officials have shared particulars about two with the three numerous variations of Office 2010 that are in advancement: The Workplace 2010 customer plus the Office Web Apps. Next week, at the TechEd Europe conference in Berlin, they finally are slated to indicate and inform additional in regards to the 3rd: Workplace Mobile 2010.
Update (November six): A Microsoft spokesperson known as these days to inform me the Office group isn’t quite ready. This session on Workplace Cellular 2010 is being cancelled for TechEd Europe. I’m betting it’ll be on the PDC agenda instead,Microsoft Office Home And Business 2010, so we’ll have one a lot more week to wait….
Office Mobile 2010 is the version of Office that runs natively on Windows Cellular phones. The most recently released version debuted in 2007. That release is Version six.1 and includes cellular variations of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and a rudimentary version of the OneNote note-taking application.
The Office Mobile 2010 release will include “a refresh towards the Workplace Mobile client apps, an all-new SharePoint Workspace Mobile app and redesigned cellular access to SharePoint site content,” according to a synopsis of the “Microsoft Office Mobile 2010 In-Depth” session that is slated for November 12 at TechEd. That session also will cover the back-end infrastructure powering the new Workplace Cellular release, according on the write-up. The presenter is listed as Outlook Product Manager Dev Balasubramanian.
Here is the entire synopsis:
OFS01-IS Microsoft Workplace Cellular 2010 In-Depth
Presenter: Dev Balasubramanian
Thu 11/12 | 13:30-14:45 | Interactive Theatre 1 - Red
In this session we cover all with the mobility technologies and scenarios enabled as part with the Workplace 2010 “wave”. You’ve heard us talk about how Workplace 2010 spans the PC, Phone and Web — come learn what the Phone pillar is all about! Collaboration scenarios, mobile workflows, and cellular access to data, people,Office 2007 Standard, and corporate resources are all part of what makes Office on the phone a new experience in 2010. A refresh to the Workplace Cellular client apps, an all-new SharePoint Workspace Cellular app,Office Ultimate 2007 Key, redesigned cellular access to SharePoint site content, as well as the infrastructure needed to support it, are covered as part of this session.
In early October,Office Standard 2007, I blogged about a screen shot that showed a mock-up of Office Mobile 2010 that seemed to indicate it the new mobile suite would be customized to work on Windows Cellular 7, the version of Microsoft’s mobile OS expected to be available by the end of 2010. That shot also showed off what looked like some kind of SharePoint application. Microsoft officials did not comment on that screen shot or its implications.
At the recent Microsoft SharePoint Conference, executives noted that Microsoft has a number of enhancements coming to SharePoint for mobile. According to an October blog post by SharePoint Corporate Vice President Jeff Teper:
“We both improved the experience for cellular internet browsers and are introducing a new SharePoint Workspace Mobile customer so you can take Workplace content from SharePoint offline on a Windows Mobile device. These clients let you navigate lists and libraries, search content and people and even view and edit Office content within the Office Web App experience running on a mobile browser.”
To be clear,Office 2010 Standard Key, Office Mobile 2010 won’t be the only way to run Office apps on mobile devices. The Softies have said Workplace Internet Apps also are going to be able to run on unspecified phones from Microsoft and other vendors. Supposedly when the public beta of Office Web Apps hits later this month, Microsoft will be ready to share more particulars how and when specific phones and browsers will support Workplace Web Apps.
I have lots of questions about Office Cellular 2010. Will it run on platforms other than Windows Mobile? When will it go to testers? Will the final version be released alongside the other two Workplace 2010 releases (around May/June 2010)?
