Microsoft Code-Name 'Project Bronx'
Microsoft is readying an addition to its Office Live services lineup that will target mobile devices. Code-named Project Bronx, the technology could be released to beta later this month, according to a post on the Neowin.net Web site. A Neowin poster described Bronx as "an effort within Mobile Information Worker group that aims to bring Microsoft Office experience to all mobile phones using SMS." The poster said that Microsoft was soliciting testers for the technology, which will be part of the company's Office Live initiative.Office Live is the name of the family of service add-ons to Microsoft Office that the company began beta testing earlier this year. Unlike Microsoft's burgeoning group of Windows Live set of services, the Office Live services so far have been aimed at PC, rather than device makers. On the Windows Live side of the business, Microsoft has introduced some services, such as Windows Live Search Mobile, which are being designed for cell phone and PDA users. (more)
