if this is true, then this would make business life soooo much easier.

now if only MS would make a fully functional tablet that costs 200 OR LESS.

I know we’re talking micosoft here, but does anyone know a good word processing app for IPAD? Thanks.

My Droid came preloaded with Quikoffice. This processor/spreadsheet/powerpoint suite of apps produces documents that can be easily read by Microsoft Office, unlike that disaster MS Works.

Two comments:

1. You didn’t need to be Nostradamus to figure out that this is the direction that MS would want to head. Obviously they want to leverage their mastery of one market into a mastery of the newer, potentially more important market.

2. I personally don’t see it - I don’t see people with mobile phones or tablets having a great need to tweak their spreadsheet or their requirements MS Word doc. I’m pretty (somewhat?) sure that tablets already can *display* PPT prezos - that would the *one* case that really *would* make sense. All the rest? Meh.

Yeah, but I can’t synch the damn thing to my office Outlook email, calendar or contacts. It’s freakin’ WINDOWS 7 - the SAME OS - but it won’t synch, and Zune is a complete waste.

Wish I had my Nokia back.
