DataViz reported on its Twitter stream and on its Facebook page that Documents to Go was submitted to Apple's iTunes App Store for approval and should be available in a few days. As I've posted here and here and here, we don't know much yet about the features, but presumably the app will allow you to view Word, Excel and PowerPoint files on an iPhone and edit Word documents and perhaps also Excel and PowerPoint documents.
The price has not been revealed yet, although the company says on its Facebook page:
And in response to a qustion on Facebook of whether there will be a discount for people who used Documents to Go on another platform such as Palm, the company says: "Its priced so well you won't need a discount!"
I've been very happy with QuickOffice on the iPhone, although that app still needs some work, such as the addition of autocorrect, underline and footnotes. I'm very curious to see how Documents to Go stacks up to QuickOffice on the iPhone.
Having said that, I actually feel bad for both companies because these are both products that cry out for a copy and paste function that works across the iPhone so that you can copy from a webpage into a Word document, from a Word document into an e-mail, etc. This feature won't be available until iPhone Software 3.0 comes out this summer, but I understand that both companies felt the pressure to release their apps now. It would also be great to be able to take a Word or Excel document that is attached to an e-mail and open it up in QuickOffice or Documents to Go. Again, that just isn't possible with the current iPhone operating system.
