====Early Office Mobile releases====
Originally called Office Mobile which was shipped initially as "Pocket Office", was released by Microsoft with the [[Windows CE]] 1.0 operating system in 1996. This release was specifically for the [[Handheld PC]] hardware platform, as [[Windows Mobile Smartphone]] and [[Pocket PC]] hardware specifications had not yet been released. It consisted of Pocket Word and Pocket Excel; PowerPoint, Access, and Outlook were added later. With steady updates throughout subsequent releases of Windows Mobile, Office Mobile was rebranded as its current name after the release of the Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system. This release of Office Mobile also included PowerPoint Mobile for the first time.<ref>Utter, David.

In June 2007, Microsoft announced a new version of the office suite, Office Mobile 2007. It became available as "Office Mobile 6.1" on September 26, 2007, as a free upgrade download to current Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6 users.
