Microsoft and Nokia announced a joint collaboration to bring Microsoft Office Mobile and Microsoft business communications, collaboration, and device management software to Nokia devices. What this means is that you’ll have:
- The ability to view, edit, create and share Office documents on more devices in more places with mobile-optimized versions of Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft OneNote
- Enterprise instant messaging and presence, and optimized conferencing and collaboration experience with Microsoft Office Communicator Mobile
- Mobile access to intranet and extranet portals built on Microsoft SharePoint Server
- Enterprise device management with Microsoft System Center
Microsoft Office Communicator Mobile should be coming next year followed by the rest of the Office Mobile products. So good news all around for all you Nokia users.

Microsoft’s twitter account has two tantalizing tweets that might be of interest to all you Zune fans:
June 2009 will be an important month for Zune lovers.
@officethemovie: New product launch, that’s all I’m allowed to say. Hold off from buying an iPhone/Pre.
Maybe it’ll be the launch of the Zune HD with Xbox game integration? Perhaps, but the phrase that intrigues me is the “hold off from buying an iPhone/Pre”. Why would you want to do that unless you’re waiting for another…mobile phone? Zune HD with phone integration? We’ll just have to wait and see.
Update: Post was a hoax using a fake Twitter account. One can only hope, eh?
