Microsoft Office Mobile 2007
Microsoft announced two Windows Mobile updates today. First, a Japanese version of Windows Mobile 6 will be available starting in June on devices from HTC, Sharp, and Toshiba.The bigger news is that Office Mobile 2007 will be available as a free download in the third quarter of this year.
It doesn't sound like there will be a ton of new features in the updated version of Office Mobile. But it will have one killer app: support for Office 2007 documents. You'll be able to open Office 2007 file formats like .pptx .docx and .xlsx.
Office Mobile 2007 will work with Windows Mobile 5.0 touchscreen devices and all Windows Mobile 6 devices. Sorry, no downloading Office Mobile 2007 for a WM5.0 Smartphone with the hopes of adding Office Mobile to a phone that didn't ship with it pre-installed.

I don't understand Microsoft! WM5 is only 2 years old, they changed the default format, and they won't provide an update for Smartphones? Hell, the pirated version works fine.
I've used Windows Mobile since it was called "Pocket PC 2002" and they've consistently screwed users like this.
As soon as my i320n dies I'm on the hunt for a new smartphone with ANY other OS.

Good news! Looks like Office Mobile 2007 has been hacked and is available for download even before MS releases it this year. Now you can create and edit docx, xlsx and pptx docs on your WM 6 PPC.
