14 DAY TRIAL // 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.
Here's what they found: How do I access Office 2010 from my phone? You can access your Office 2010 files from your phone in the following ways:
Office Mobile 2010. Office Mobile 2010 can be launched from your Start menu on any phone running Windows Mobile 6.5.4 You can also open Office file attachments within your e-mail or documents stored on your Windows phone directly.

In addition, the FAQ also says that Office Mobile 2010 will run “exclusively on Windows Mobile 6.5.” This might only mean that older versions of the platform won't see it available for them, but that does not meant that the future Windows Mobile 7 will not support it. Previous reports already suggested that Office Mobile 2010 was set to be launched sometime at the beginning of the next year, and that launch time frame might not have been changed so far, yet more details should emerge shortly.
