Quickoffice launches Quickaccess: A mobile file streamer

It's a streaming technology that will let you access and edit office documents on your phone without having to depend on native mobile versions of the desktop software. I was given a demo of the product in action back in April; it's got some nice features for road warriors. For one, it lets you grab files from multiple computers in one shared directory. You can search using a single index, and even edit a file at the same time as other people, even if it's something like an Excel spreadsheet--something typically reserved for services like Editgrid or eXpresso. The files can be worked on locally or as they're being streamed to your phone. You can also set permission on any shared file to be re-shared once more, which could be useful if you want to pass it along to a third party for editing.

The company is porting this access over to Google's Android platform. In the demo I saw, they were working on a Google spreadsheet with the changes being pushed back live in a page we were viewing in a regular Web browser. This is something you can't currently do on mobile phones, but this early version was able to do it. Compatibility with documents is expected to come later on.

Quickaccess is a new software product for mobile phones from the folks at Quickoffice.
