According to Paul Moreton, vice president of operations and sales for Mobility Electronics’ handheld accessories group, software, “As the first office software developer invited to join the Symbian Affiliate Partner Program, Mobility Electronics has a unique opportunity to deliver the market’s leading business applications to Symbian OS-based phone users worldwide. We have already begun offering both Quickword and Quickpoint for Nokia Series 60 phones and we anticipate future news regarding the compatibility of our applications with additional Symbian phones.”

With the 1997 launch of Quicksheet® Mobility Electronics’ handheld accessories group, software (formerly Cutting Edge Software), primed the market for mobile business productivity applications.

With the 2003 launch of Quickoffice for Symbian OS, Mobility Electronics continues to define the benchmark for mobile office suites, adding significant value to professionals on the move with their Symbian OS-based phones.
