WinMo 6.5 to See Office Mobile 2010 Soon

Redmond-based software giant Microsoft is reportedly preparing for the launch of a new software for the Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system, the latest version of its platform for mobile phones. The new software is none other than Office Mobile 2010, which might not make users of a WinMo-based device wait too long before it becomes available for them.

According to some info in the Office 2010 FAQ, discovered by the guys over at mobiletechworld, the Office Mobile 2010 will come to handsets running under the 6.5 flavor of the OS. Moreover, the fact that these details have been already included in the FAQ can only suggest that the software solution is being prepared for launch.
