Once on your device, documents can easily be viewed, printed, and shared with others using the supplied RepliGo Viewer.
RepliGo only allows viewing the documents, correct? If so, this excerpt from your Web site is misleading:

RepliGo allows you to convert virtually any document from your desktop computer onto your Palm OS® or Pocket PC based device.

Download RepliGo and experience the power and convenience of total access to your documents anywhere at any time.
I would define "total access" to my documents as the ability to modify them, not just view them.

Also, $40 ($50 when it's out of the introductory period) seems a bit steep for a document viewer. I would suggest following the Adobe Acrobat model -- give the viewer away for free and charge $50 (maybe more to compensate for the free viewers) for the PC-based components necessary to produce RepliGo files.

I realize that you're aiming this at corporate users, but your dream of sharing documents among co-workers will be difficult if the co-worker has to go buy a piece of software to view a document.
