Dataviz: Documents To Go has been submitted to the App Store!
Dataviz has posted to Facebook and Twitter that they have submitted Documents To Go for the iPhone. They say it should be available soon and is
Very reasonably priced and there won’t be a need to have a discount for existing customers…We have been very excited about what DataViz is bringing to the table in their very popular Microsoft Office compatible software. Our Editor-In-Chief when to Mobile World Congress and brought us back some juicy info. How has this changed? What will this version of Documents To Go do? We should find out in a couple of days.
What are you hoping for? Word, Excel and PowerPoint functionality? I would love the triple play. Do you think DataViz will deliver?

I have been waiting for this since I lost the service switching from a Blackberry to an iPhone. This service will work great on an iPhone and hopefully they throw in the acrobat attachement for free like they did with the Blackberry app.

I agree Robert, I hope it has some cool functionality. It is top secret apparently!

I will probably try to review this when it comes out.

The Palm Pre will have DTG native to the phone. In fact there are lots of apps that one has to buy at Apple that come free on the Palm Pre. I heard that you will be able to side-load apps on to the Pre also. I really need a good reason not to get this new Pre on June 6th and stick with my iPhone!

@Daniel
I hear ya. This is why I think you need to stay with the iPhone:
1) App Store. 2) 3.0 Upgrade. 3) Pre can’t search email on a server, iPhone 3.0 can.

@Chad Garrett
1) Most people do not care about the “app store”, the Blackberry curve is outselling the iphone so your argument it moot. 2) 3.0 is just a basic upgrade to features other platforms have had for years 3) The Pre will have full MSExchange, Enterprise customers will be supported.

But they’re still stuck with their BlackBerry and Palm Pre training keyboards.

@oneawake
Those ‘basic’ features that they’re including in 3.0 is one reason there aren’t as many iPhone users. This will boost the sales.
Correction…lots of people care about the app Store, otherwise they wouldn’t have as many downloaded apps as they do.

Nice to see someone laugh at their own jokes. lol
@Nathan
Correction…lots of “iphone owners” care about the app store. Many of those apps are useless and redundant. A lot of those apps are free, most are only used twice. If Apple is content with teenagers making up the bulk of the app downloads, good for them.

iPhone is the best, Pre sucks, BB sucks!!! Yeaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 20th, 2009 at 11:55 pm
I had come here to say “Yeah! I owned D2G ten years ago on my Palm V, am happy to see DataViz is still around, and am a likely buyer of the iPhone version.” However…
@oneAwake: Are you insane? EVERYONE cares about the App Store. Every iPhone owner I know shows off their latest App Store finds every time they meet. Non-iPhone owners also ask me what my latest installs are. I was at a (non-IT oriented) party the other day and the phrase “There’s an app for that” came up more than once. Just because you don’t want Apple’s App Store to matter doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter and isn’t having an impact. Either see the real world or accept that you are suffering from cognitive dissonance.

I’m going to be waiting for iWork or Office. Not being able to open email attachments, is a major issue in my opinion though – limits the use of these apps!
May 21st, 2009 at 3:13 am
@Daniel: it’s not like you didn’t know this before you bought the iPhone. So why did you? It clearly doesn’t fit your usage model. Did you buy it to be cool?

@ thekevinmonster
I bought the iPhone because I thought it offered the best overall media-phone/smartphone experience. Even the new iPhone coming out that will have video capture still seems to fall well short of all the Palm Pre’s out-of-the-box capabilities. I won’t be waiting for any new iPhone.

@OneAwake:
Oh, it’s no joke. There’s absolutely nothing superior about your physical keyboard phones. They simply fullfill the needs of the intimidated, the incompetent, and quitters..

If there is no support for downloading office documents from email directly on the iphone, what’s the functionality of this app (or quickoffice)? Apple should add a “finder” kind of app to the iphone in which you could download and store documents for use with these apps (like they did with photos). If not, in my opinion, there is no use for the app.

And yet, curiously, DataViz has – so far – ignored those who’ve signed up for their e-mail announcements. Not very bright marketing, I’d say…. Shame!!!

Fact: iPhone can read ANY word/excel/powerp attatchment out of the box. So why would you want Doc’s to go ? Well the ability to edit any of the above docs on fhe go is an incredibly useful feature (including copy/paste). Apart from being a state of the art technology kit, the iPhone lacks some pretty obvious features. Roll on 3.0
May 25th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
My birthday came and went. I seriously have been checking the app store every day in anticipation of this app. Aaaaaargh!
May 28th, 2009 at 11:39 pm
Yes, i would have to agree with ‘masoniciphone’, they, DataViz certainly have ignored us???
Still trying to figure why on earth would they have wanted us to seriously sign up for notification????
Might have been just to see the numbers game, either way, very unprofessional… To the least they never even informed us of the delay or reasons. If i am not mistaken, May to mid May was the release date claimed??
All the hype and marketing with no delivery, 2-3 days to clear the App store, well May 20th is going to make it 10 days now aye????
Oh, and i noticed they don’t even host a forum for their customers.
My 2 cents
May 30th, 2009 at 7:42 pm
Hmm, still no email from DataViz?? And more importantly, still no iphone version that was promised May – mid-May. We’re over 10 days to clear that so called application, (Documents To Go). The email subscription is deffinately questionable??? One would even question weather or not the application was REALLY submited to the App store now aye!!!
Especially given the (WELL OVERDUE) time frame we’re talking about now!!

Hmmmmm I very much doubt they were telling the truth about this app being submitted to the app store. More likely they were running very late (still are) and so told people it was submitted so that they can use Apple as the scape goat. Disappointing. Have decided to go with Quickoffice, not just because I need the editing capabilities asap, but because if they’re releasing software a whole month late, just imagine how long it will take for any updates to be released.
June 11th, 2009 at 8:51 am
Bet they are waiting for 3.0 to come out the 17th. May be they were not ready for 3.0?
June 15th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
It’s now available on the iPhone store.
