Big changes coming to online office suite ThinkFree next week

ThinkFree
While Google, Microsoft, and Zoho continue their arms race for online office suite dominance, it's easy to forge that these companies aren't the only ones offering robust solutions for editing, storing, and collaborating on documents. ThinkFree has been around for a while, offering a combination of free and premium, online, and offline services including word processors, spreadsheet, and presentation applications.

On April 7th, ThinkFree will launch a major update. While we expect there to be a ton of tweaks, here are some of the key changes:

  • New "Note" web-based WYSIWYG editor which lets you create and edit documents while incorporating online content from sites like YouTube and Flickr.
  • New Mobile Internet Device (MID) version of ThinkFree optimized for small touchscreen devices
  • Support for Microsoft Office 2007 documents
  • Support for Windows Vista and OS X 10.5
ThinkFree will have some scheduled downtime the night of April 6th and the morning of April 7th to implement the changes.

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
