As you are probably aware by now, some of the most comprehensive software reviews posted anywhere on the web are done by none other than Gear Diary contributor Clinton, of Clinton Fitch (Dot) Com fame.
I would like to turn your attention to his site, where he has posted a veritable users manual for SoftMaker Office 2006.
His press release says…
Several years ago the German software development company oftMaker attempted to address these struggles with their applications TextMaker and PlanMaker. TextMaker, released initially in 2002, was a quantum step forward in mobile word processing, allowing virtually any desktop function to be replicated on your mobile device. They followed that up in 2004 with PlanMaker, their spreadsheet application which proved to be equally as powerful. Both applications could read and save in Microsoft Word/Excel formats and the Professional versions provided you a desktop version of the applications as well.
Synchronization was a snap through ActiveSync and things such as formatting, file passwords and complicated formulas stayed intact – something that is still not available in the Windows Mobile 5 versions of the Word Mobile and Excel Mobile.While Service Packs were offered from their launch until recently for TextMaker 2002 and PlanMaker 2004, no major upgrades had been made to either application until the launch of SoftMaker Office 2006. The wait was very much worth it!
In Office 2006 – which included TextMaker 2006 and PlanMaker 2006 – both applications have received a major facelift along with dramatic improvements “under the hood”.
All of the features you have come to expect from both of these award winning applications are there along with host of new features and functions.
Simply put, Office 2006 offers Windows Mobile owners the ultimate word processor and spreadsheet applications that are powerful, easy-to-use and compatible with the desktop. No other applications offer the power of these applications!
In case you like what you see, Clinton is making an offer that you can’t refuse. He says…
