I remembered reading the MS was going to offer a new version of Office Mobile for WM6 that supported the new document formats for free this summer (summer has only a few weeks left). I can't find any info about this at MS's website, anyone hear more about this?

No clue, but DataViz beat them to the market with Documents To Go 3 for Windows Mobile (and DTG10 for Palm OS, DTG 3.1 for Symbian UIQ, and DTG2 for Symbian S80).
The last time I used DTG it did not support creation. Has that changed?

Office Mobile doesn't allow creation on Smartphones, but DTG (I only have version 2) supports document creation (PowerPoint, Spreadsheets and Word Docs)

I am sure that you all have read about the latest OOPS that a developer did in leaking a Mobile Office update that makes it compatable with Microsoft Office 2007. It also allows you to see documents that are compressed w/o having to unzip them.
At any rate once Microsoft learned of this little leak they took the site down. Read about it here: http://www.theunwired.net/?item=upd...office-mobile-6-1-for-windows-mobile-6-update.
You can still get this update that Microsoft took down if you are interested get it while you still can.

Hi there,
Microsoft Office Mobile 6.1: Upgrade for Microsoft Office 2007 file formats - 29-11-2007, 09:56 PM
Microsoft have now released Office 6.1 upgrades for devices, at long last:
Microsoft Office 2007 introduced new Open XML-based file formats for Office applications. These new file formats reduce file size, improve security and reliability, and enhance integration with external sources.
To allow Windows Mobile users to work with Office documents created in the Open XML formats, Microsoft has developed an upgrade for Word Mobile, Excel Mobile, and PowerPoint Mobile applications. This upgrade to the Office Mobile applications allows viewing and editing of Word documents and Excel workbooks and viewing of PowerPoint slideshows created by using Microsoft Office 2007.
Other improvements include:
• Enhanced viewing experience for charts in Excel Mobile.
• Ability to view SmartArt in PowerPoint Mobile.
• Ability to view and extract files from compressed (.zip) folders.
Microsoft Office Mobile 6.1 Full Version to support Microsoft 2007 file formats
If your Windows Mobile device does not have a version of Microsoft Office Mobile prior to 6.1, you can purchase the full version of Microsoft Office Mobile.
The Office Mobile application suite includes Microsoft Office Word Mobile, Excel Mobile, and Microsoft Office PowerPoint® Mobile for Windows Mobile 6 powered devices, helping users manage and review documents. Microsoft Office Mobile includes support for rich reviewing and minor editing capabilities as well as support for rights-managed documents.
The primary user scenario enabled by Office Mobile is viewing e-mail attachments, performing minor edits, sharing document versions, and opening documents from an SD card or a SharePoint server. Office Mobile provides a high-fidelity document viewing experience, with capability to edit as well as fast performance in loading the first page of the document.
Note: This free upgrade works only for Windows Mobile powered devices that have an earlier version of Office Mobile. If your Windows Mobile powered device does not have Office Mobile applications, this upgrade will not work for you. You can purchase the full version of Office Mobile 6.1 online. For more information, click here -Microsoft Office Mobile: Word, Excel and PowerPoint - Windows Mobile.

Apparently this will only work on WM5 Pocket PC version and NOT the Smartphone version.
I wondered why MS was now selling Office Mobile - I guess this is so the older platform that doesn't support this upgrade can now spend some $$$ to do so?

Nope, it seems more like MS is offering it for the older platforms for free and yet charging money for it on WM6 Smartphone devices that did not ship with a version of office... WTF? This upgrade is very confusing and strange...
can anyone help me? I've been looking for a dictionary app for the hd2 and haven't had any luck! ino there is tons for the iphone so just woundering if there is any for this, thanks.
I am using "Langenscheidt Dictionary for Windows Mobile".
But I guess it's only available in german...
Install Microsoft Reader and then download the free Encarta Pocket Dictionary. I have used it for ages with other Windows Mobile devices. Actually can read various books with pocket Microsoft Reader. Ed
Edit.... Not sure Microsoft Reader will work with 6.5.... It appears the available app is for wm 6.1 maybe you could try it for us and report back. Regards
There are lots of dictionary apps for windows mobile.
Have a look at following links :

As a matter of fact I do think that there are lots of really good softs for windows mobile and they definitely can compete with Iphone ... and without the need to jailbreak or hack your own phone to be able to customize it a little bit !
But it is also a fact that it is more difficult to find the softs as there is no softaware catalog that could compete with the centralized AppStore : you have to search with google with a lots of keywords : Pocket PC, wm5, wm6, wm6.1, wm6.5, windows mobile and so on ...
<OFF TOPIC>
Yet the biggest enemy of Window Mobile in the ability to compete with Iphone is from my point of view ... Microsoft :
- With the aberrant conditions to entry MarketPlace for developers,
- And with their crappy windows phone 7 series that is maybe the biggest step backward in computer industry that I've ever seen,
they will totally kill Window Mobile and commit suicide to their mobile department !

Apart from "Encarta Pocket Dictionary" it is available the "Oxford English Dictionay" in .lit format for free some where in the net, and if you have a dictionary in .doc format (with hypertextual links) you can convert it to .lit format using the appropriate mirosoft word patch, all links will work in .lit too.
Does anyone know a RDP application for Windows Mobile (5/6) which can be used to publish a single application from a terminal server on a mobile device?
My research with google did not lead to any result so far.
Thanks in advance.

something like Citrix? they do have a windows mobile client...
Yup something like Citrix but hopefully not so expensive.

Do you know if this is possible so I mean using the app publishing of Windows 2008?
BTW Does anybody where to check whether the RDP Client is included in official Windows Mobile 6 ROM or not?
Regards
Not tried it, when I was running a 2008 test network at home I didn't have a WM device.
If you can wait 3 weeks when I'm back from holiday, I'll build a 2008 server and give it a test.
Doubt it will work though.
To my knowledge there's only the citrix client for mobiles which can do it, and I don't know much about that.
email notification from Toshiba received today advises:

I have D/L'd but could not identify or capture the .cab... would be handy to be able to incorporate straight in ROM rather than as an overlay.
Found the CAB here : http://forum.jayceooi.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=339
Can anyone comment the changes? it worth to update?
Thanks
