A lot of times I hear Bonnie Cha of CNET (sorry PCWorld!) talking about how some mobile operating systems can edit Microsoft Office documents while others can't. I tried looking on Wikipedia, but their Symbian list doesn't provide enough details. Is there any list on the internet that displays which mobile OSs can edit which kinds of Microsoft Office documents?

Well, Windows Mobile 5 smartphone edition doesn't have the ability to edit Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. Only the Pocket PC edition supports that, which isn't on a lot of phones. Different versions of different OSs of different years with different applications do different things. For example, the Nokia E62 is one of the best, cause its version of the Symbian OS can create and edit Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. Thanks for answering, though! =)

Oh, ok! Thanks! Paying $30 is a lot cheaper than buying a Pocket PC edition over a smartphone edition. That's a cool piece of software! =)
