With the growth of now pervasive mobile email, an office suite is imperative to a complete mobile email experience. Attachments on these e-mails are now increasingly commonplace. In fact, according to a recent Microsoft study, over 30% of e-mails contain attachments with an average of 1.7 attachments per message. This equates to 51 attachments for every 100 emails sent!
Fueled by pervasive wireless broadband and significant hardware advancements, mobile office suite usage will soon become as ubiquitous as voice or basic data capability before it.
The market for true mobile office capabilities is significant. "Poor attachment support" is currently the number one complaint for Blackberry users, with 41% requesting "better Office support". In 2006 there are over 650M corporate e-mail accounts worldwide and by 2008 over 80% of these will be "mobilized". With the users receiving 51 attachments per 100 e-mails today, the market for mobile office is not only here already, but expanding rapidly too.
The ability for mobile professional to edit Office documents affords the user even more freedom. While no one expects mobile phone users to create complex documents on their device, real business scenarios do exist for quick, reliable editing at the point of need. The vibrant "upgrade to editing" market is but one proof point.
