Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / ATT Wireless / March 2008Is the Microsoft Office suite 'Docs to Go' coming to IPhone in June?
from the Office Mobility Blog... Microsoft Office mobility on the world's most popular smartphones Earlier today CEO of DataViz, Inc., Dick Fontana, appeared on Fox Business Network to share his thoughts about the recently announced iPhone software development kit (SDK) and developing applications (such as the popular Microsoft Office suite, Documents To Go) for this platform. With many other mobile device platforms, such as Palm and Windows Mobile, a software company like DataViz is free to develop at will as the software can be marketed through a variety of channels. Based on yesterday's announcement from Apple, it seems things may be a bit different for the iPhone: "The fact that there's one path bringing software to the device means that we have to go to the keepers of that path..." While some may consider this a negative, DataViz has a long relationship with Apple which gives Dick reason to be optimistic about the opportunities for DataViz with the iPhone: "We were one of the first developers for the Macintosh in 1984 and they [Apple] have always proven to be good business partners... We have every reason to believe that the path will be open for us." You can see all of Dick's comments at the DataViz Channel on YouTube. We are currently investigating the opportunity to develop Documents To Go, RoadSync, Passwords Plus and any of our other software titles for the iPhone and would appreciate your feedback. http://www.dataviz.com/eforms/feedback/feedback_form.html > from the Office Mobility Blog... > Microsoft Office mobility on the world's most popular smartphones [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > the iPhone and would appreciate your feedback. > http://www.dataviz.com/eforms/feedback/feedback_form.html I wasn't aware that Docs2Go was a Microsoft product as your subject line indicates.

Care to elaborate? Why do some people have to insist on being so thick or pedantic?!? :-\ Documents to Go is obviously a Dataviz product to give you the ability to use your Microsoft Office documents on small portable devices. > > > from the Office Mobility Blog... > > > Microsoft Office mobility on the world's most popular smartphones [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > Documents to Go is obviously a Dataviz product to give you the ability > to use your Microsoft Office documents on small portable devices.

Looking forward to the iPhone version. I'm surprised you ever used it enough to form an opinion, given how "difficult" you keep telling us all non-iPhones are to use, and that all third-party apps hosed your Treo! ;) > >> Documents to Go is obviously a Dataviz product to give you the ability > >> to use your Microsoft Office documents on small portable devices.

Loved my Treo until something better came along. iPhone runs circles around it. Yes, was tired of the third party apps crashing the unit, but had you forgotten that DocsToGo came with unit?

Geez, relax a bit, Kurt- just poking a little fun, and kind of making the point that we all somehow muddled through with these "user-hostile" devices in the months B.I. > Loved my Treo until something better came along. > iPhone runs circles around it.

No, in fact, I hadn't, but it's still a 3rd-party app regardless of whether or not Palm threw it in. > > > I'm surprised you ever used it enough to form an opinion, given how > > > "difficult" you keep telling us all non-iPhones are to use, and that [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > point that we all somehow muddled through with these "user-hostile" devices > in the months B.I.

Given that only a couple 3rd party apps came with it, I figure it had been thoroughly tested for compatibility. Believe me, I'm just apprehensive about third party apps that might be available to the iPhone, but Apple seems committed to make sure we don't have the conflicts that we see in other phones.

I'm a WinMo guy rathr than a Palm guy, so I've learned that that's no guarantee! ;-) > Believe me, I'm just apprehensive about third party apps that might be > available to the iPhone, but Apple seems committed to make sure we don't > have the conflicts that we see in other phones. That's why I don't have a problem with Apple's level of control. Both open and closed platforms have their advantages, and, to their credit, Apple seems to be trying to strike a reasonable balance between them. > > Yes, it just seems like objectivity has been tossed out the window > > lately.

Opera Mini was a disaster for Treo until they took a few versions to get the bugs out. Never want to ever see this again. I learned years ago that I never want to be a beta tester for anyone, worse, one that I had to pay for the privilege. Probably why I've stuck with Macs ;-).

NO posts to these two groups can be "on topic" because iPhone doesn't run on Verizon, a CDMA carrier. > > misc.phone.mobile.iphone > > alt.cellular.verizon [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > NO posts to these two groups can be "on topic" because iPhone doesn't run > on Verizon, a CDMA carrier. Actually I checked Radio Shack today and the manager said he gets many Verizon customers everyday coming in who are inquiring about getting an iPhone. Any information about this wildly popular device helps all exisitng Verizon customers figure out how to obtain one. One detail all should know is that they can't currently get one at Radio Shack. He was knowledgeable about issues of prepay simms in the iPhone and dropping iPhone simms in other phones. Another manager for a large cell store did mention he could show his customer how to put an iPhone on one of his other carriers. >>> misc.phone.mobile.iphone >>> alt.cellular.verizon [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > Another manager for a large cell store did mention he could show his > customer how to put an iPhone on one of his other carriers. Don't think so. You just post fanboi stuff.
