In an article about Microsoft's announcement-of-an-announcement regarding its web-based Office offering, Anita Hamilton writes about Zoho and quotes our Raju Vegesna. Excerpts :
"I think it's about time the Office suite is free," says Zoho's tech evangelist Raju Vegesna. "We paid $500 for an Office suite when the price of the hardware was $5,000. Now the price of the hardware has come down to $500, and it doesn't really make any sense for a piece of software to cost $500."
For most users, however, free Web apps are really all you need. And they're getting better all the time. Zoho has spreadsheet, word-processing, presentation and organizing programs, and lets you work both online and off; it even has an iPhone app.
Before you pay even the lowest price for Microsoft Office, give Zoho or Google Docs a try. They aren't confusing, and they won't make you feel stupid. To make absolutely sure, I became my own guinea pig. I typed this story in Zoho Writer, even though I had never even tried it until this week.
Thanks to Anita & TIME.
Hi Adil,Our mobile web service (http://mobile.zoho.com) is already supported in Windows Mobiles (we even have a Google Gears supported offline functionality built-in). We support Zoho Creator and Writer service alone in Windows Mobiles as of now. We are working to support other services.As far as Blackberry is concerned, our mobile website isn't currently optimized (supported) for the native Blackberry browser. The site however works with the (Free) third-party, Opera Mini web browser if installed on the Blackberry device. We are working to support the native Blackberry browser too.Sathish Rajagopalan
