Office 2.0 Launchpad rundown
EditGrid talked about the freshly launched iPhone and iPod touch optimized version of the online spreadsheets service. The new tweaks make the site finger friendly and take advantage of the built-in keyboard on both devices for text and data entry. You can also work on the same spreadsheet as someone using the desktop version, and both of you will see the edits happening in real time.Docgle, a document management service, didn't show anything off, but announced they'd be opening up the beta in a few weeks. The site is now accepting invite requests on the landing page.Diigo showed off the new WebSlides service, which turns your bookmarks into an annotated slideshow. We've got a hands-on with it here. In the meantime, you can give it a spin at slides.diigo.com.Caspio gave a brief overview of ExpressDB, the new service, which lets you database-enable forms without having to know anything about coding.ThinkFree talked about the public beta of the Premium Edition of Thinkfree Office, and the Thinkfree userbase, who have shared over a million documents on the service as of last month. No pitch, but new companies and services:Coghead, launched a new Business Essentials service this morning, which has a small collection of pre-built apps for small business collaboration.Huddle, the U.K. based team collaboration app is launching a U.S. version this morning.
