ThinkFree Goes Mobile
We’re pleased to announce the availability of ThinkFree Office Mobile for portable devices to original equipment manufacturers, original design manufacturers, telecommunication companies, and independent software vendors. As an integral part of the boundless documentation platform, this mobile edition extends the reach of ThinkFree’s productivity suite to the rapidly expanding mobile realm.
This edition provides users of UMPCs and other next generation mobile devices the ability to read, write, edit and organize documents, spreadsheets and presentations on their mobile devices using ThinkFree Write, Calc and Show. ThinkFree Mobile provides an intuitive and responsive user interface that is optimized for smaller screen sizes. Moreover, the finger touch-driven user interface provides refined control for viewing documents on any portable device. As a result of these new developments, ThinkFree Mobile unleashes mobile devices as truly effective editing tools.
The ThinkFree Mobile editor has two versions currently: lite editor and standard editor. The mobile lite editor provides slim-downed editing functions optimized for small screen size devices. In contrast, the standard editor delivers the full-featured ThinkFree Office and includes ThinkFree Manager which handles online and offline document synchronization.
The mobile viewer includes a simplified user interface that is designed especially for effective viewing on portable devices. Functions such as zoom, pan and full screen navigation are seamlessly integrated into ThinkFree Mobile Viewer.
ThinkFree Mobile will be compatible with Microsoft Office 97, 2000, XP, 2003 and 2007.

Now that Microsoft is implementing ODF in Office 2k7 SP1, maybe you should start implementing that standard format in your own product. There is a segment of the market, particular government users in Europe and some African countries, where a product that is not ODF-capable is a product that cannot be purchased / subscribed / used. http://www.microsoft.com/Presspass/press/2008/may08/05-21ExpandedFormatsPR.mspx
Versioning: Right now, version 1.0 is ISO approved, while version 1.1 is in the widest use. 1.2 is still in the design process at OASIS, and will hopefully go on to ISO as well. OpenOffice.org and its related products (including StarOffice, IBM Lotus Symphony, and NeoOffice) all produce/consume version 1.1, as does KOffice.
It makes sense to try to get it done before Microsoft’s product release in mid-2009, so that ThinkFree doesn’t get left behind the pack. GDocs, Zoho, and other online competitors already implement ODF (some better than others), so this should be a priority.
