CES announces Quickoffice Pro

Cutting Edge Software (CES), the Palm OS developer recently acquired by Mobility Electronics, has announced a new version of its popular office suite. Quickoffice Pro adds the ability to download and edit Powerpoint presentations on Palm OS handhelds using the Quickpoint application.

Quickoffice Pro features improved synchronisation technology, including a dedicated desktop conduit for managing file transfers between the handheld and desktop. It is fully compatible with HotSync. It can also be used in conjunction with Mobilefile, which uses a client application installed on a networked desktop PC to provide wireless access to office files from any compatible Palm OS device.

Mobility Electronics, CES’ parent company, sells the iGo accessory, enabling users to deliver Powerpoint presentations direct from their handheld. It plans to offer a bundled version of Quickoffice Pro to its customers.
