Quickoffice today announced the release of its first Microsoft Office viewer for the Android platform, Quickoffice for Android. With Quickoffice, users can access and view .doc and .xls files sent via a Gmail attachment or stored on a memory card. The viewing features include zoom and scrolling throughout the documents. In addition, telephone numbers, Web sites and email address are hyperlinked directly from Word files, allowing users to quickly call, visit a Web address or email with one touch.
“With the Android platform quickly gaining popularity, it’s important that critical functionality for mobile users, such as document viewing, is developed,” said Gregg Fiddes, vice president of sales and strategic partnerships at Quickoffice. “We are excited to make this feature available to T-Mobile G1 users with the launch of our award-winning software. We’re committed to providing our office productivity solutions across leading smartphone operating systems, and look forward to launching more features and functionality for Android later this year.”
Quickoffice will be available in Android Market for an introductory price of $7.99. Visit http://www.quickoffice.com/quickoffice_android/ for more information
