For those living in Nokia realm , Quick Office is not new to them it’s the same old version 4 software which every Nokia e series has on which you can create Word , Excel and even PowerPoint files ( v4 is limited to Office XP only while V6 can also edit Office 2007 docs ) .

After conquering the Nokia , it was iPhone / iPod Touch which was the next goal and one of the most missed application by me a power business user .

The application , Quick Office can be purchased from the itunes store for $19.99 and is worth every penny .

Perhaps the most innovative feature is WiFi access to files ( sorry wifi is required you cannot send the files by Bluetooth )

Choose Wifi

Click on the Wifi Desktop connection and you’ll be shown an address to be put into your browser

wifi connect

Enter the address in your browser and you will be instantly given access to the files .  Security factors are bulitin , the browser address changes everytime the option is started , the WFi connect page has to be open to have access to the documents , There is even a Password protection option which gives a numeric password which changes everytime it’s generated so the transfer is secure and no one can have access to your documents without authorization .

On the Pc Browser it  gives the list of documents . selected documents can be downloaded and files can b uploaded from the PC

Quickoffice browser

Over all i’m having a good experience with the Quick Office application , with support for multi touch Zoom ( like Safari browser) and rotation it sure is a winner app for my iPhone .
