2. A more detailed look at the new Thinkfree online service for iPhone
This information comes from another user who was awarded the iPod Touch from our recently held UCC contest. In this second series, he explores in detail what the iThinkFree service has to offer.
================================================================
To use the ThinkFree online service on the iPhone or iPod Touch requires uploading office documents to the ThinkFree site from any desktop PC. The membership and use of ThinkFree online is complimentary.
================================================================
ThinkFree Manager is a file synchronization and document management feature that makes easy viewing and editing possible.
================================================================
Once uploading the document is successful, iPhone or iPod Touch users can connect to ThinkFree online via the Thinkfree online service for iPhone to access any previously uploaded documents. The iPhone or iPod Touch users with the ThinkFree online account can use the same user name and password via the Thinkfree online service for iPhone screen as shown below.
================================================================
When logged on to the Thinkfree online service for iPhone, the display provides users with an intuitive and simple listing of user documents that are available online. To view documents only requires that users tap on the screen.
================================================================
This screen shows a document in open view. The Thinkfree online service for iPhone utilizes the HTML format to quickly open documents in the Safari environment. The current document shown below is in the Microsoft Office .doc format retaining file attributes as close to its original file properties as possible.
================================================================
To enlarge the view of open documents, it only requires the user follow the iPhone or iPod Touch user interface by using two fingers to stretch the screen.
================================================================
The screen and contents will follow iPhone or iPod Touch when viewed in landscape mode. In fact, the horizontal mode will provide viewing of contents in better quality. Because the Thinkfree online service for iPhone allows opening of multi screens, one of the added user benefits is to close the display content prior to moving back to the home screen at anytime. (For reference, iZoho only provides users with the ability to move directly from a single page and this can be very cumbersome.)
================================================================
iZoho requires their users to click on the back arrow to move to the home screen or move using a tab. But this makes it difficult to determine if the current display should be closed or not. The Thinkfree online service for iPhone user interface is designed differently to reduce a prone to user error which may result from the use of inflexible features similar to what iZoho provides.
