DataViz’ Documents To Go 9 Sets the Wireless Office Free
DataViz® announced Documents To Go® 9 for the Palm OS® platform. Documents To Go is a mobile office suite which allows users to create, view and edit Microsoft® Word, Excel and PowerPoint files as well as view Adobe® PDF files on a mobile device. Version 9 has many new enhancements with the most significant being the addition of InTact Technology™ which ensures that ALL file formatting is kept “intact†when editing and e-mailing office files on a handheld or smartphone. Other new features include: An integrated file explorer, a new user interface, updates to Word To Go, Sheet To Go and Slideshow To Go. Customers who have a previous version or who received the Professional Edition on their Palm® branded device can upgrade for $29.99.
For
years Documents To Go has utilized DocSync Technology to retain complex
file formatting when editing files on a mobile device. This technology
developed by DataViz, relies on a wired synchronization between the
computer and mobile device in order to merge changes back into the
orginal document on the desktop while retaining file formatting. With
customer expectations growing and devices becoming more and more
powerful, customers are now relying on their smartphones as standalone
devices instead of companions to the desktop.
DataViz has
replaced DocSync Technology with InTact Technology in Documents To Go
9. Now files that are edited on the mobile device no longer have to
rely on a wired synchronization with a desktop in order to maintain
file integrity. Edited files on the mobile device can be emailed as
attachments and still retain their complex file formatting including
track changes, headers and footers, macros and animations to name a
few. To find out more about InTact Technology and it's benefits

“With more and more customers using wireless devices to mobilize their
office we are finding a growing expectation and a need for a reliable
document editing solution that does not rely on a wired
synchronization,†said Danny Tu product manager, DataViz, Inc. “The
addition of InTact Technology allows our customers to be truly mobile
and gives them complete confidence when it comes to editing files on
their device."
“As Palm smartphones like the Treo 700p have become more and more powerful, a need for a native document editing solution that can take advantage of this mobile computing platform becomes very important,†said Mike Rank, director of developer relations for Palm, Inc. “The addition of InTact Technology takes document editing on a wireless device to a whole new level.â€
The main Documents To Go office applications for the handheld have also been updated. The new enhancements include:
File Explorer - An integrated file explorer has been added to the main Documents application to make browsing for files on expansion cards and internal memory easier.
