Has it happened to you, that you got an email with an attached Microsoft Word file, to which you had to reply with adding just a few words to the attached document? And while your mobile device was able to display the email to you, perhaps you were even able to read the document, your efforts were frustrated by the inability of your mobile device to edit the document.
