There is a preview available at the site and you can be notified when the final version is released. This looks pretty good, in pictures so far at least. I am happy to see this but am a bit surprised that MS didn't come up with these tools themselves, especially with Office 2007 around the corner.

This is what I've been waiting for. I've tried it and it responds very quickly. Great office suite. I wonder how much it will be?

this has been my single biggest complaint with smartphone os since i started using it -- that no one made an office equivalent. looks like all my complaining paid off.

Im new to the smart phone market. Got a T-Moble Dash to try and replace my cell phone and HP 2215 Pocket PC with one device. This is defently going to get me one step further!

Now if I could only find some decent GPS software for my bluetooth GPS reciever. :lol:

Did you notice that when you installed it, it said something about being a demo until some time in March? Just curious how much they are going to want for the package. Word and Excel are all I'm interested in... I don't use power point and don't really see the need for an unzipper. The PDF viewer might be nice though.

Being a spy from the PPCPE camp, it aggravates me that they are making a Smartphone version and not a PPC version apparently. I've always wished for a Dataviz solution as they seemed to have a better Mobile Office story for Palm than MS had for their own platform.

Maybe they recognized that with Textmaker, PlanMaker, ClearvVue Presentation, there was existing competition for the PPC, while not so much for the SP.

Nice to see the product offered, but also nice to see that yet another respected vendor sees the future of WM.

Having been a long time Docs to Go user when I was in the Palm universe, this is the single best software development for smartphone yet. Although I'm not a big believer in editing documents on a tiny screen, it ALWAYS rendered documents for viewing much better than any other solution, including mobile office on my PPC (Cingular 8125). This will make my Blackjack complete. And, like sven, I'm thrilled to see a top notch developer recognize the value of smartphone.

Here's to hoping DateBk makes a debut on smartphone. It is the best PIM in the Palm or Winmobile universe.

A minor annoyance is that it tells you every day when it will expire. Ok, remind me every few weeks, but not every day. :x

A major annoyance is that it associates itself with .txt documents. Then when I try to "launch" a .txt document to edit it, I get a message stating DocsToGo cannot open the file because it's not a .doc. :evil:

D'OH :!: Sounds like a little bug on that one. :lol:

Hello, I read about this hear an could not resist trying it out. The thing that makes this interesting is that I am using a Cingular 3125 not one of the landscape devices that are listed as compatible. It works great. I have a few fairly complicated spreadsheets and no problem. I have noticed a few minor formatting issues with some of the settings screens and the about screen is a little screwy, but other than that it works like a champ...
