In a period where all seems to become "mobile" (Google is offering a service where you can enter an url and view it optimized for a mobile device, Microsoft is opening to mobile devices some of its Windows Live services here) a question comes on my mind: why there are not rumours for a mobile version of Office Live?
Office Live could be one of the coolest application that Microsoft could present in the future, an application that can be a revolution for the manager that is always on travel, for the secretary, for a developer that needs office tools always with him, for the everyday activities of everyone of us. All this power on a browser, always with us... great!
But imagine if a day we could have all the standard Office tools available via our Pocket PC or Smartphone: this will be the real revolution! I'm on travel, I need to send to my office a Word document and I've only my Windows Mobile Smartphone with me. How can I do?
No problem... Just open my Pocket IE, log myself to Office Live, open Word Live, type my document via the browser interface, save it locally and send it with Outlook Mobile on my device. The same for Excel, Powerpoint etc.
I'm dreaming? Maybe... but I think this will be the REAL revolution and a big new business!
