Picsel Smart Office to be embedded into NHN's popular N Drive service
Picsel UK today announces that its popular application, Picsel Smart Office, will be rolled out onto handsets through a distribution deal with NHN, Korea's premier internet company.
Picsel Smart Office will be embedded into NHN's N Drive service which allows users to store their documents in their individual virtual hard drive online. With millions of users, N Drive is one of the world's most popular online data stores, and the integration of Picsel Smart Office onto N Drive's Android Market, Samsung Bada and Apple iOS applications is designed to offer these users an improved experience.
With the added functionality of Picsel Smart Office directly integrated into N Drive, users will now be able to view, edit and save revised documents on N Drive straight from their mobile handset. Picsel Smart Office offers rich viewing and editing of office documents on mobile, with highly regarded features including accurate content layout, font and graphics formatting and reflow mode for easy editing.
Imran Khand, CEO at Picsel UK, explains: "Consumers are no longer happy just to be able to store their documents in the cloud and access them from their computers, but they want to view and edit these files from their mobile as well. We're delighted to be able to help NHN provide a seamless experience of accessing and editing documents on their mobile to their customers by integrating Picsel Smart Office directly into their N Drive application."
Mr Ram Rhee, Portal Strategy Director at NHN, commented: "With the rapid expansion of mobile handset market, NHN realised that customer's need for clouding services becomes even higher. We hope to deliver a better mobile experience to customers with Picsel Smart Office"
As the successor to the world's most popular document viewing system, Picsel File Viewer, Picsel Smart Office has become a popular choice for mobile users who increasingly want to do more from their mobile device.
Khand continues: "Mobile users are increasingly sophisticated and Korean consumers particularly so. By embedding Picsel Smart Office directly into the N Drive service we are living up to our promise to show the industry that Office can exist and flourish on mobile. We've pushed boundaries in technology by offering 3D stereoscopic viewing of documents on mobile, and now we're transcending national boundaries by bringing editing of documents based in the cloud to Korea and Japan."
Picsel Smart Office will be embedded onto the N Drive service from April 2011. Picsel Smart Office can also be downloaded as a standalone application download on the Apple App Store, Android Market and Samsung Apps for £5.99.
