Software : Microsoft updates Office 365 |
Posted: Microsoft has added a bunch of new features to its Office 365 cloud service for business, with an eye on the small to midsized business market. Two of the three offerings that Microsoft is highlighting for Office 365 are aimed at SMBs. Office 365 Midsize Business is designed for firms with 10-250 employees, and includes Office 365 ProPlus along with Exchange, Lync and SharePoint. It also has Active Directory integrated, along with a web based administration portal. Office 365 Small Business Premium, for firms with up to 10 employees, has the complete set of Office applications, including email, shared calendars, website tools and HD videoconferencing. Microsoft is also shining the spotlight on Office 365 ProPlus, which includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Publisher, InfoPath and Access delivered as a service on up to five devices. It is offered standalone or comes as part of the deal for the Enterprise and Midsize Business Offerings. The company says that Office 365 is one of its fastest growing businesses, with one in five of its enterprise customers having taken up the service in the 18 months since its launch. |
YouTube iOS app update lets you send content to compatible devices Posted: Veteran YouTubers with iOS devices will be happy to learn the most recent update (v. 1.2.1) to the YouTube app finally adds "send to TV" functionality. The update will allow iPhone 5, iPad 4, and iPod touch users to pair their mobile devices to a television set equipped with Google TV, which will make it possible to control content streamed to the TV from any compatible device. The feature was already available on Android, but at least now there's one more feature iOS users can claim as their own. Stream lineThough there are only a handful of Google TV compatible sets on the market, there are even more manufacturers readying such devices for later this year. Fortunately, if you don't have a compatible HDTV, the YouTube app also allows you to pair your mobile device with an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3, though the process isn't as simple on the gaming consoles. The new "send to TV" feature even allows for anyone else on the same Wi-Fi network to control what's streaming, or add new content to a playlist. The addition of iOS devices for this feature makes a great deal of sense for YouTube, as more than 25 percent of its views now come from mobile users. With companies like Bang and Olufsen, LG, Panasonic, Sony, Philips, Samsung, Sharp, Toshiba, Vizio, and Western Digital all onboard the Google TV train, we're sure to see even mobile-to-TV cross compatibility take place in the future. |
