Letting You See Your Word Documents On Your Phone
Who needs a PC at all any more? Or even a smartphone? Sharp and Bitflash have come up with a system that will let you view whole documents on your mobile phone. It works by turning the document, spreadsheet or presentation into its own format which can be viewed on the phone. Others have attempted very similar offerings in the past, though, and they haven't made it very far - so it's unclear if this will take off too. However, I will say that this one has a pretty cool feature: it can zoom, since it's in a scalable vector format. That, as you might imagine, could be especially useful given the form factor and the quality of the screens - but only if you're really in a situation where you need to be staring at a PowerPoint presentation on your mobile phone, which might not be that often.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
