RIM welcomes Office 365 users into the fold with BlackBerry Business Cloud Services

RIM welcomes Office 365 users into the fold with BlackBerry Business Cloud Services

For wary Office 365 enterprises who’ve been reluctant to dip their toes into the beta pond, today will certainly be memorable in the IT room: Research in Motion has gone ahead and blessed BlackBerry Business Cloud Services as ready for prime time. The software, which has been in beta stage since October, allows BlackBerry users to easily integrate with their firm’s Office 365 deployment. Users can expect synchronization with their Exchange email, contacts and calendars, along with the ability to remotely wipe or lock their data should the device go missing. Likewise, IT gurus may take advantage of remote administration and wireless activation of the handsets. The software is free and will work for all medium-sized and enterprise subscribers of Office 365. So go ahead and uncork that dusty bottle of champagne, or absent that, feel free to flavor up the Folgers a bit. The press release just after the break, and you’ll definitely want to prepare yourself.

Microsoft begins Office 15 technical preview, fills up before you knew it existed

Microsoft OfficeEverybody calm… we know, we’re excited too. We’re just dying to see the latest in spreadsheet and presentation technology. But, for now, you’ll just have to wait as the technical preview for Microsoft’s next version of Office is all filled up. What exactly Redmond has in store for us it wont say but, it’s not shying away from hyperbole, declaring it “the most ambitious undertaking yet for the Office Division.” Primarily we assume that’s because every arrow in the Office quiver is being updated simultaneously, including desktop, mobile and web apps, Visio, Lync and its countless other peripheral programs. Don’t draw a warm bath and grab a straight razor, though — you’ll get a chance to play with all the updated products when they enter public beta this summer.

OnLive Desktop hits the iTunes app store

Not satisfied with iOS? No problem, OnLive has a hefty helping of Windows waiting for you in the iTunes app store. Palo Alto announced the streaming Office app earlier this week, touting it as a no-compromise enterprise experience. The free app is fairly basic, giving iPad users hungry for a dose of Microsoft Office limited access to Windows’ premiere word processing, presentation and spreadsheet software — though the outfit has said that it will intro “pro” and “enterprise” versions of the service with more features in the future. Go ahead, now you can be a Mac and a PC. We won’t tell.

A spreadsheet based music tracker: get ready to rock your accounts (video)

Art and geekery: two sides of the same coin. A fact wonderfully demonstrated by this spiffy spreadheet-based music sequencer. Live-coder and all-round music hacker Patrick — aka cappel:nord — spotted the LibreOffice spreadsheet’s sonic potential and decided to work his magic. The result is demonstrated in the video below. Sure, it’s a little bit senza functionally, but it does appear to have velocity control, based on the cell’s number value, as well as effects. Not bad for what the creator claims was “a three hour hack”. Sadly there’s sparse detail on how exactly the task was accomplished, but if you know your quavers from your variables, grab the source code by tapping the via after the jump.

OnLive launches desktop app, streams start menus to your iPad, we go hands on (video)

Desktop sized games aren’t the only thing Palo Alto’s premiere streaming service is pushing to your tablet — now OnLive is out to stream you an actual desktop, as well. Following up on an old Windows 7 demo and later promises to build a “no-compromise, media-rich enterprise experience,” the outlet is now launching OnLive Desktop. It’s almost exactly what it sounds like — Windows, seamlessly streaming to your iPad.

Microsoft’s CES 2012 keynote won’t deliver ‘significant news,’ more of ‘a wrap-up’

After learning of Microsoft’s plans to stop holding CES keynotes following the 2012 edition, the immediate attention turned to this: would it use its last opportunity on the main stage to make a lasting impact? Evidently, that answer is “no.” We’ve confirmed with the company that Steve Ballmer will be “focusing quite a bit on Windows Phone and the its Xbox / entertainment story,” while also sharing “momentum from across the company for Windows, Office, Bing, etc.” Ultimately, we’re told that there “won’t be significant news, but more of a wrap up of the strong year the company has had in consumer.” We’ve got a call out for further clarifications (as well as questions on whether or not another BUILD, MIX or some other spinoff event will take the theoretical place of CES), and we’ll be sure to update as we learn more.
