The Helio Ocean has traditionally been marketed towards the younger, hipper set, but it looks like Helio is turning up the enterprise appeal on the Helio Ocean. In an effort to make the Helio Ocean an enterprise-class handset, Helio has made available a couple new software packages that should help mobilize office duties. The new Helio File Viewer allows any Helio Ocean user to view Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Adobe PDF files – giving them the option of zooming around within the document, switch between landscape and portrait views, and sort by file type. Helio File Viewer also supports an expanded number of image formats (BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, WMF, EMF).
Helio has also released an upgraded Mail for Microsoft Exchange application. The new Mail for Microsoft Exchange gets bumped up to v1.2 and improves the calendar, alert, and sync-ing capabilities of the Helio Ocean.
“Ocean’s unique dual-slide design and comprehensive messaging suite lets members communicate with friends, family and business associates in unique ways,” said Darshan Patel, Director of Email Communications at Helio. “The addition of Helio File Viewer makes staying in touch easier and more effective for business users with the ability to view documents wherever members take their Oceans.”
Now you can grab a refreshed (read: refurbished), lower-priced Helio Ocean to help you with your daily office tasks. We’re not sure if the Helio Ocean is the best handset for smartphone-ing, but at just $99, it’s at least a damn good deal.
Full press release.
