Microsoft Turns Your Android Device Into Office Remote for Android

Multitasking is the name of the game these days, and nobody understands that as well as Microsoft. In support of those pursuits, Office Remote for Android turns your phone into the command centre via Bluetooth for desktop-based Microsoft Office 2013 and 2016 Preview programs (on Windows, Mac support is distinctly lacking at the moment).

There isn’t much to it, but there are a few handy features: advance PowerPoint slides (and read your speaker notes), use your fingertip as a laser pointer across the screen of the host computer, manipulate Excel tables, and jump through headings in a Word document.

It is another good sign from the Microsoft camp, proving they are abandoning their old platform-dependent ways… plus it makes my smartphone even more valuable as a multitasking tool.
