iPods With Color Displays
(MACWORLD, BOSTON, MA) — July 12, 2005 – ThinkFree, Inc., the leading
developer of standards-compatible office software, today announced the
initial beta release of ThinkFree Office 3 Show, iPod Edition, a unique
software that allows anyone with an iPod (or compatible MP3 device) to
create, edit and transport full-blown PowerPoint presentations, even on a
computer that does not run Microsoft Office. In addition, the software
allows for a seamless PowerPoint slide show in the palm of one’s hand on
all new iPods, which now come with a color display, as well as other
leading portable multimedia players.
Bringing the mobility of professional expression to another level,
ThinkFree Office 3 Show, iPod Edition lets anyone create and edit powerful
presentation graphics on any PC or Mac, then (with the color iPod or
portable multimedia player) display them anywhere, from the campus to the
golf course. This means that sales professionals, executives and students
can leave their laptops at home and can literally put sophisticated graphic
presentations in the hands of their prospects.
ThinkFree Office 3 Show, iPod Edition comes with over 130 PowerPoint
compatible drawings and AutoShapes, 17 animation effects and 40
transitions. In addition to the standard .ppt file format, it can save
documents as HTML, the World Wide Web standard format, as PDF file or as
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphix) format. The software loads from the iPod into
the memory of a computer the iPod is connected to, regardless of whether
the computer is running Mac OS X or Windows. ThinkFree Office 3 Show, iPod
Edition installs on any iPod or iPod Mini if they have 100 MB available
space. To run ThinkFree Office 3 Show, iPod Edition, either Mac OS X 10.3,
10,4 or Windows 2000/XP is required. The computer should have more than
256MB RAM.
