    Microsoft Office mobility on the world's most popular smartphones

    Earlier today CEO of DataViz, Inc., Dick Fontana, appeared on Fox
    Business Network to share his thoughts about the recently announced
    iPhone software development kit (SDK) and developing applications
    (such as the popular Microsoft Office suite, Documents To Go) for this
    platform.

    With many other mobile device platforms, such as Palm and Windows
    Mobile, a software company like DataViz is free to develop at will as
    the software can be marketed through a variety of channels. Based on
    yesterday's announcement from Apple, it seems things may be a bit
    different for the iPhone:

    "The fact that there's one path bringing software to the device means
    that we have to go to the keepers of that path..."
    While some may consider this a negative, DataViz has a long
    relationship with Apple which gives Dick reason to be optimistic about
    the opportunities for DataViz with the iPhone:

    "We were one of the first developers for the Macintosh in 1984 and
    they [Apple] have always proven to be good business partners... We
    have every reason to believe that the path will be open for us."
    You can see all of Dick's comments at the DataViz Channel on YouTube.

    We are currently investigating the opportunity to develop Documents To
    Go, RoadSync, Passwords Plus and any of our other software titles for
    the iPhone and would appreciate your feedback.

    I wasn't aware that Docs2Go was a Microsoft product as your subject line
    indicates. Care to elaborate?

    Why do some people have to insist on being so thick or pedantic?!? :-\

    Documents to Go is obviously a Dataviz product to give you the ability
    to use your Microsoft Office documents on small portable devices.

    I'm surprised you ever used it enough to form an opinion, given how
    "difficult" you keep telling us all non-iPhones are to use, and that all
    third-party apps hosed your Treo!

    Stop being such a baby. Loved my Treo until something better came along.
    iPhone runs circles around it. Yes, was tired of the third party apps
    crashing the unit, but had you forgotten that DocsToGo came with unit?

    Geez, relax a bit, Kurt- just poking a little fun, and kind of making the
    point that we all somehow muddled through with these "user-hostile" devices
    in the months B.I.

    No, in fact, I hadn't, but it's still a 3rd-party app regardless of whether
    or not Palm threw it in.

    Yes, it just seems like objectivity has been tossed out the window
    lately.

    Given that only a couple 3rd party apps came with it, I figure it had
    been thoroughly tested for compatibility.

    Believe me, I'm just apprehensive about third party apps that might be
    available to the iPhone, but Apple seems committed to make sure we don't
    have the conflicts that we see in other phones.

    Frankly, it seems much better now that Oxford's settled into a new quieter
    identity...

    I'm a WinMo guy rathr than a Palm guy, so I've learned that that's no
    guarantee! ;-)

    That's why I don't have a problem with Apple's level of control. Both open
    and closed platforms have their advantages, and, to their credit, Apple
    seems to be trying to strike a reasonable balance between them.

    Opera Mini was a disaster for Treo until they took a few versions to get
    the bugs out. Never want to ever see this again. I learned years ago
    that I never want to be a beta tester for anyone, worse, one that I had
    to pay for the privilege. Probably why I've stuck with Macs ;-).

    NO posts to these two groups can be "on topic" because iPhone doesn't run
    on Verizon, a CDMA carrier.

    Actually I checked Radio Shack today and the manager said he gets many
    Verizon customers everyday coming in who are inquiring about getting
    an iPhone. Any information about this wildly popular device helps all
    exisitng Verizon customers figure out how to obtain one. One detail
    all should know is that they can't currently get one at Radio Shack.

    He was knowledgeable about issues of prepay simms in the iPhone and
    dropping iPhone simms in other phones.

    Another manager for a large cell store did mention he could show his
    customer how to put an iPhone on one of his other carriers.

    Don't think so. You just post fanboi stuff. How would that "help" people
    "figure out" how to buy an iphone?
