Zoho Apps Go Mobile
by Bill Ives
We are getting more powerful mobile devices with bigger screens setting the stage for the movement of more desktop apps to mobile devices. Zoho is expanding its mobile support for the iPhone and Windows Mobile to include the Android, BlackBerry, and Symbian mobile platforms. Zoho Mobile applications include Zoho Mail, Zoho Writer and Zoho Sheet and work for all these platforms. Zoho offers a comprehensive suite of applications (see Zoho: A Suite of Many Online Apps for Small to Midsize Business).
All of their future mobile initiatives will be available under Zoho Mobile as they expand mobile support for all their upcoming applications. Zoho Mobile is available now, free of charge. Here you can see Zoho apps on an iPhone, an Android, and Windows Mobile.
Currently, Zoho Mobile lets users view their Zoho Writer, Zoho Sheet, and Zoho Show files. Users can also view, compose, and send email via Zoho Mail and access their Zoho Creator applications. Going forward, the company plans to expand both the feature functionality and the portfolio of Zoho applications available in Zoho Mobile. Zoho Mobile is also localized to Japanese. They plan to make this available in additional languages soon.
This is a smart move. I might actually get an iPhone soon and one reason would be to use desktop productivity applications such as these that Zoho offers.
