Alongside Microsoft’s launch of the Office 2010 beta, Microsoft on Wednesday launched a public beta of Office Mobile 2010

The set of applications will allow users to view and edit their Office documents, use their phones as a PowerPoint presentation aid, and connect with their SharePoint Workspace Mobile accounts.  The app is available for download in the Windows Marketplace for Mobile for Windows Mobile 6.5 phones. Anyone with a Windows Mobile 6.5 phone can download and test the app until April 5 of next year.

The app appears to be a step forward for Office Mobile because it interacts exclusively with touch screen Win Mobile 6.5 phones and offers functionalities like syncing with Microsoft OneNote.

I visited it for the first time today from both my WinMo HTC Fuze and the web. Rather than go for volume (which makes me not like the Apple Store – too much control over too many apps), Microsoft played it safe and went for a smaller number of programs both paid and free.
