Although it has repeatedly denied it has any intention of taking on Microsoft Office, Google introduced Google Apps Premier Edition, a fee-based version of its free Web-based word processing and spreadsheet applications for businesses. For a $50 yearly fee per account, customers will receive the entire Google Apps package with additional business centric features, plus access to APIs, conference room scheduling for calendar, 10GB of e-mail storage, extended phone support, and mobile access to e-mail on BlackBerry devices. According to Google, nearly 100,000 businesses already have signed on to Google Apps, including several big-name companies such as Procter & Gamble, General Electric Corporation and Prudential who have been testing the business edition of the software.
