Thanks to a new application release from mobile office productivity software provider, Quickoffice, iPhone (News - Alert) and iPod Touch users can now benefit from a fully editable Office functionality.

 

MobileFiles Pro is the first application to include editable Office functionality for the iPhone and iPod Touch. With this latest upgrade, users will be able to edit and save Microsoft Office Excel files in the .xls format, transfer Wi-Fi files to and from a desktop (Mac and PC), and access and synchronize with Apple (News - Alert) MobileMe accounts.

 

Mobile professionals will especially benefit from this new application, thanks to its extensive .xls editing features including support for over 125 functions, robust format options ranging from font style and cell color choice to inserting and resizing rows and columns. In addition, users can easily switch between sheets in a workbook, edit inputs and recalculate and undo/redo changes.

 

It also features enhanced desktop file access and transfer functionality combined with MobileMe iDisk account access to easily transfer and store files to and from an iPhone. With the new Wi-Fi feature, users can transfer files directly from any desktop to an iPhone or from an iPhone to the desktop. MobileFiles Pro also gives users remote access to MobileMe iDisk files, and allows them to synchronize changes and upload new files to iDisk. Moreover, it provides local passcode protection of the entire application, ensuring all account information and data is secure.

 

“Quickoffice is taking an important first step in providing business users with useful applications that allow them to easily create and edit Excel files, much like they do on their desktop,” said Michael Gartenberg, vice president of mobile strategy at Jupitermedia/mobiledevicestoday.com. “The iPhone is changing the mobile industry and with help of high-quality third party applications, it will continue to branch out from the consumer space, appealing to a growing number of business professionals.”
