Finally, Microsoft has released an upgrade to the Office Mobile suite of applications on Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6 Pocket PC devices. A lot of users have been waiting for this upgrade eagerly as is evident from my previous Office Mobile 2007 post. Note that this free upgrade works only for Windows Mobile devices that have an earlier version of Office Mobile

This upgrade to the Office Mobile 2007 allows viewing and editing of Word documents and Excel workbooks and viewing of PowerPoint slideshows created by using Microsoft Office 2007.

Other key features and improvements include:

• Enhanced viewing experience for charts in Excel Mobile.
• Ability to view SmartArt in PowerPoint Mobile.
• Ability to view and extract files from compressed (.zip) folders.
• Support for rich reviewing and minor editing capabilities as well as support for rights-managed documents.

Those without Microsoft Office Mobile preinstalled can purchase the full version here. Others can check the forum mentioned in this post for download links to an extracted CAB file for Office Mobile 6.
