With the release of the public beta of Office 2010, the beta of Office Mobile 2010 is available now in Windows Marketplace for Mobile for download here in Australia.

Some of the cool things include:

• PowerPoint Presentation Clicker – You can now connect your Windows Smartphone to your PC via Bluetooth and easily view your presentation notes—your phone can even be used as a clicker to advance the slides! I’ve tried this and it’s a great way to have your speaker notes with you, and use your phone as  a clicker. The software for your PC can be downloaded From Here
• New OneNote Mobile

Office Mobile 2010 requires a Windows Mobile 6.5 device. Windows Marketplace for Mobile – download direct to your phone. Note: this requires an Over the Air installation, to save on data charges perform this when your Windows phone is connected to a WiFi network.

1. Press the “Windows” button on your phone
2. Find the Marketplace icon in the Start list, and click on it
3. Choose the “What’s New” item
