Users are no longer a slave to their desks; they can have complete software functionality, combined with the power of mobility and speech recognition to make creating and editing a snap; from literally anywhere. The Company believes in the power of portability and Corel(R) Office so strongly, that they will be offering a Sphere 3D Corel(R) Office Bonus Promotion – a complimentary bonus downloadable PC version of Corel(R) Office (valued at $49.99) to 5,000 randomly selected users that register before October 31st, 2013 at http://www.sphere3d.com/registerforcorel
“This software bonus promotion is a fun way, to get consumers to test drive the future of mobile productivity. This stuff isn’t rocket science – we just want consumers to experience the new breed of mobile office productivity from Sphere 3D and Corel. It’s about taking a familiar office suite user experience and untethering you from your PC or laptop to go mobile, without having to sacrifice functionality! Best yet, you could win a bonus downloadable desktop version of Corel Office for when you are back at your desk. Talk about the ultimate in iPad to PC Office Suite compatibility,” says Howard Morton, Sphere 3D’s Head of Partnerships and Commercialization.
Corel(R) Office includes everything users expect in an office suite at a fraction of the price, and includes all the office tools needed to create impressive documents, spreadsheets and presentations.
