OzHub, the Macquarie Telecom-led cloud computing alliance, has come down firmly on the side of Optus over the copyright controversy surrounding Optus TV Now, warning that any moves to change the law "risk branding Australia a global luddite state."
ThinkFree, an alternative to Microsoft's Office suite of applications has announced a ThinkFree Mobile a new version that will allow users to read, write, edit and organise documents, spreadsheets and presentations on Windows Mobile and Linux based mobile devices. (this article originally stated incorrectly that ThinkFree was open source)
The mobile edition extends ThinkFree's productivity suite - ThinkFree Write, Calc and Show onto a variety of mobile devices and platforms. It will be compatible with Microsoft Office 97, 2000, XP, 2003 and 2007. Users will be able to synchronise files online and offline from their mobile device.
ThinkFree Mobile has been launched with three versions: lite editor, standard editor and viewer. The mobile lite editor provides editing functions optimised for small screen size devices, the standard editor is the same as the full-featured ThinkFree Office and includes ThinkFree Manager which handles online and offline document synchronisation. Viewer is software specific to the mobile version of ThinkFree Office that allows users to view but not edit documents in Write, Calc, and Show.
It is billed as being ideal for reading documents that are created by the Microsoft Office suite and as having a simplified user interface designed especially for comfortable viewing on portable devices, with functions such as zoom, pan and full screen navigation "seamlessly integrated".
But before you get too excited in anticipation of downloading and trying the product: it is currently available only to original equipment manufacturers, original design manufacturers, telecommunication companies, telecommunication operators and independent software vendors. However you can find out more at www.thinkfree.com and http://blog.thinkfree.com/ .
