The competition

Quickoffice currently has one competitor on S60 3rd Edition, OfficeSuite from Mobile Systems Inc. A broad comparison between these two products is that Quickoffice offered breadth of office document support, with a useful depth of feature in each of its three supported document types. OfficeSuite by contrast has narrower support (it does not support presentations) but does have some greater depth in the features supported in documents and spreadsheets (it support graphs in spreadsheets for example).

Of the two Quickoffice looks like the preferred choice because it allows a user to work usefully with all the types of Microsoft Office documents.

Conclusion

Quickoffice has improved significantly with this new S60 version release. The worst aspect of the upgrade is a slightly uneven implementation of new features. The support for comments in Quickpoint might have been much more useful in Quickword. These oddities aside, Quickoffice has done an excellent job with v4. All the products are easier to use than their predecessors. The menus are shorter and more easily navigated. The use of dialogs for features such as formatting or table insertion, offers commonality between functions in the different applications, which enhances usability further. The new features mean that documents, spreadsheets, and presentation can be usefully edited away from a PC. While most user will not be ditching their laptops altogether, Quickoffice v4 for S60 certainly means there will be many more occasion when the laptop stays in the office.
