Office Remote for Windows Phone 8 APP
Hello.
Today, my colleague Enrique Palomino and I discovered this amazing tool for Windows Phone 8 that is absolutely a must.
It's name is Remote Office and enables you to control any Office file via a Windows Phone 8 and bluetooth. It has been developed by Microsoft Research and in their words:
Office Remote turns your Windows Phone into a smart remote for Microsoft Office, providing convenient touch-based control of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents projected from your PC. It lets you show what you want, when you want, with all the freedom you need to walk around and connect with your audience.
