Developer of OpenDocument software for mobile devices SEPT-Solutions released its popular Mobile Office suite of apps for the latest Symbian OS UIQ 3+ based smartphones, including Sony Ericsson P1i and Motorola Z8. Using Mobile Office, owners of the mentioned devices will be able to read ODF documents (created in OpenOffice, StarOffice or KOffice) without the need to convert them to other formats as well as compromising on formatting and ODF features.
I wonder why SEPT-Solutions haven’t enabled editing of the documents. Guess that would add thousands of new lines in the program code, but somehow the pure document viewer doesn’t make sense to me. On the other hand, I’m not a big OpenOffice user and having an additional app that could help me with those kind of documents could be neat.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
