Default DataViz Announces Documents To Go For Windows Mobile

http://www.dataviz.com/news/press/p...ail.html?id=185

"DataViz®, Inc., leading provider of Office compatibility solutions in its 25th year in business, today (Aug 25, 2007) announced the availability of its flagship mobile office suite Documents To Go® Premium Edition 3.0 for devices running Microsoft® Windows Mobile 6.x Professional and 5.0 for Pocket PC Phone Edition. Already available for Windows Mobile Standard, BlackBerry, Symbian and Palm OS, Documents To Go, will now allow users of Windows Mobile Pocket PC devices to view, edit and create Microsoft Word, Excel® and PowerPoint® files (Windows: Office 97 - 2007, Mac: Office 98-2008) as well as view PDF files on their devices and in their native formats."

As noted, the non-touch-screen devices already had this available, and now it is available for the Pocket PC/Pro crowd. If you think the included versions of Excel, Word and PowerPoint aren't powerful enough for you, you should give the DataVis product a shot. There is a free trial, and you can buy it for $29.99 at the Pocket PC Thoughts Affiliate store. It requires Windows Mobile 5 or higher and runs on just about every screen resolution out there.

That announcement date seemed wrong. I checked the site and it's really August 27, 2008.

I don't know that it matters, but if anybody else is wondering, there you go.

Also, Documents To Go comes standard on Motorola Q9 devices, replacing Microsoft's Office Mobile.

Default Docs to Go vs SoftMaker?

I have used the SoftMaker apps for Word and Excel replacement and have been pleased. I haven't upgrade for a while and see that SoftMaker now has a Presentation app as well. Does anyone know how the SoftMaker office apps compare with Documents to Go's office?

Thanks

Default Insulting The Competition

Wow, they were rather insulting toward the competition. When I worked at IBM, we were taught to address our strengths, not trash the competition. Feature comparisons might be fair, but saying "I wouldn't spend money on it" or calling it a "toy" seems a bit much.
