Quickoffice® Unveils New 3.1 Version for Symbian S60 Platform

Includes innovative Quickmanager, an on-device tool to enhance and improve mobile productivity

Dallas, Texas, October 11, 2006 – Quickoffice, Inc. a world leader in providing office document software for mobile devices, today announced the latest release of its award-winning solution, Quickoffice 3.1. This release includes many product enhancements and heralds the launch of the new, innovative Quickmanager™ tool. As a complement to the core product line which includes Quickword®, Quickpoint® and Quicksheet®, Quickmanager is a unique, in-application mechanism that enables users to purchase valuable product updates and new mobile applications. Quickoffice 3.1 includes both the “view-only” version of the office suite, as well as Quickmanager, and is compatible with all handsets running S60 3rd edition.

Quickoffice 3.1 offers many enhancements to its previous version including improvements in speed and memory usage, allowing users to efficiently work with even larger documents. As with previous versions, the software allows access to all Microsoft Word® documents, Excel® spreadsheets, PowerPoint® presentations as well as text files – whether they are delivered as e-mail attachments, external memory cards or transferred from a PC. Subscribers can save email attachments to their phone memory or memory card for action at a later time.

Quickmanager has many innovative features including the ability to instantly update the Quickoffice application, and for those users who are interested, upgrade to the editing version of Quickoffice directly from their smartphone. The application offers over-the-air billing and installation; both tasks can typically be completed in less than one minute. In addition, Quickmanager automatically refreshes itself ensuring the list of available updates and upgrades remains current. In the future, complementary software applications, such as Quickexpense, a new expense management and reporting software, will also be offered.

“With Quickoffice 3.1, users not only benefit from the industry’s leading document solution, but can also receive many useful product upgrades that will improve their mobile productivity,” said Paul Moreton, VP, Product Management at Quickoffice. “Building on the key concept of offering our users software updates and upgrades without having to search the Web, Quickmanager delivers immediate access to powerful new tools on-demand, regardless of a user’s location. As an easy to use, powerful and secure download mechanism, Quickmanager also offers global carriers increased revenue through on-device Premium SMS billing revenues.”

Quickoffice is the leading worldwide mobile office suite empowering users to open, view and edit documents including contracts, agreements, business plans, sales presentations and/or financial reports in their native format, while away from their office or laptop computer. Quickoffice is a technology platform partner for S60 and is included with other leading worldwide OEM handset manufacturers’ products. Quickoffice 3.1 is customized in 41 languages, and is available as a free download at www.quickoffice.com.
