Data Viz has announced that they are going to be developing Documents To Go and RoadSync for Android in 2009. DataViz is a long time provider of mobile software applications that enable document access and mobile email.

After spending over 10 years developing marketing solutions for Palm OS, Symbian, Windows Mobile, Java, Linux and BlackBerry, Data Viz has taken on the challenge of the growing Google Android market.  Documents To Go mobile office suite allows users to view, edit and create Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents.

Users can also view PDF files with Documents To Go. RoadSync syncs with Outlook email, calendar, contacts and tasks using the Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync protocol. There are still no details as to what features the Android version will have, but if you would like to be the first to know you may subscribe to the newsletter at www.dataviz.com/android.

  1. I'm pretty pumped out about this.

    Looking forward to it...hope it's in early 09 rather than late 09.
  2. I've used RoadSync on my P990i. It's not bad, better than nothing, but I have reservations about them being able to keep the app persistent and not have Android shut it down quietly when it needs more memory

    And yes, I would pay $49.95 for an app that read/edits Office documents, opens PDF files and gets me my office push email and Calendar (although I'd question the reliability of syncing Exchange Calendar and Google Calendar together). As for contacts, I'm happy with my Google Contacts, but would definitely love to be able to do lookups on the Company Directory and be able to Add Contact to Google Contacts
  3. Ah, but does it do ODF? I'd like to see open standards on open platforms
