Microsoft Office 2010 beta: First take

The beta for Microsoft Office 2010 is here and we've had a chance to check out the latest version. Though the changes are more incremental than they are major, there are some useful new enhancements worth noting in this revision.

Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6)

Intel Mac users will like Snow Leopard's smartly designed interface enhancements, and its Exchange support is a must-have (especially with Outlook for Mac on the way). With a ton of technological improvements, Snow Leopard is worth the AU$39 upgrade fee.

Reviews

  • LG GM730

    The GM730's feature set makes it feel like it belongs in 2008. Unless you really like the design, there are much better WiMo phones out there to choose from.

  • Microsoft Office 2010 Technical Preview

    The next Microsoft Office may not be hitting computer screens until 2010, but we got to test drive the invite-only Technical Preview. See what Redmond has in store for its powerhouse suite.

  • Apple iWork '09

    Intuitive interface design and easy access to useful features make iWork the best office suite choice on the Mac. Though it lacks some of Microsoft Office's advanced options, iWork '09 is an emerging powerhouse in its own right.

  • Samsung Omnia

    In terms of features the Omnia stands out as one of the best smartphones to date. It's a shame this doesn't translate into a phone we'd enjoy using from day to day.

  • Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Preferred

    Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 isn't perfect, but it's the best dictation software available. We don't find this upgrade necessary for the most basic dictation, although new features may benefit heavily-accented English speakers and those who rely heavily on voice commands.

  • Nokia E66

    While we like the E71 better, the E66 is a great smartphone with class leading features. If you want the functionality of a business phone without the bulk of a PDA form factor, the E66 is the phone you've been looking for.

  • Palm Centro

    Not the flashiest phone around, but its jaw-dropping price, ease of use and vast software ecosystem, make it a good choice for first time smartphone buyers and Palm OS aficionados alike.

  • Lexmark X6575

    Lexmark's X6575 multifunction features wireless printing, double-sided prints and direct printing from memory cards.
