documents_to_go_androidDataViz have launched a version of their Office file editing app Documents To Go for Android.  Promised back in December, Documents To Go can open Microsoft Word and Excel files and attachments, as well as allow editing and creating of them, up to and including Office 2007 files.

Rich formatting is supported, such as bold, italics, underline, font color, alignment, bullets and numbered lists, together with tables, bookmarks and comments. Documents To Go will also display footnotes, endnotes and track-changes, while the Excel part of the app supports a full 111 functions, together with cell formatting, row and column preferences and auto-fit options.

There’s also integration with DataViz’s new RoadSync Beta, which brings Exchange ActiveSync push email to the Android platform.  Currently a free beta in the Android Market, RoadSync supports both email and Exchange contacts.  It’ll be free until May 31st; full pricing is yet to be announced, but as a guide RoadSync is priced at $29.99 for PalmOS and $49.99 for S60.

As for Documents To Go, that’s normally priced at $29.99 but, as a launch offer, it’s just $19.99.

  1. So as a commercial app is this something only that US T-Mobile G1 owners could buy and use?

    Or could G1 Dev phones use it?
  2. Now that there's yet another Exchange client, I'm wondering how people compare Moxier, Touchdown and RoadSync (and are there any others that I'm missing)?
  3. i dont see documents to go in the market... where can i get it?
  4. I can't find the RoadSync beta in the market despite the instructions here http://www.dataviz.com/purchase/buy/...order_pg1.html ... has anyone gotten it to work?

    I've been looking myself but can't seem to find it either.
  6. Hi Everyone,

    Are you still having trouble finding Documents To Go in the market? We posted an update at one point so there may have been a period of time where it was unavailable.

    As far as RoadSync, there's a small issue with that listing in the Android Market. We're working with some folks from the Market to get it resolved; hopefully it'll be quick! If you want to be notified when its back up, go here.

    Thanks!

    Jason,
    thanks for the prompt and concise response. It's very much appreciated!
  10. I got it yesterday as soon as I recieved the email from Dataviz...and I am very pleased. Look forward to a few more features in Roadsync in the later versions, but it is working flawlessly, and along with Docs to Go, it has been a very good day! This is exactly what I have been waiting for!
  11. As of 1:45pm PST (2:45pm with Daylight Savings) on April 3rd, I cannot find "DataViz" or "Documents To Go" in the Market... any thoughts?

    Side note:
    I sure wish the Market was better at searching... It seems the search function is so strict and requires the exact phrasing.
  12. Can someone link me to the DataViz Documents To Go, I can't find it anywhere.

    Thanks,
    Robert

    I don't think there's a delete option in DocsToGo itself. So I save them to the SD card, then just use Linda File Manager to delete them. Simple enough for me.
  14. Ah, but does it do OpenDocument? I might be needing an office app sometime...
  15. As of 4-5 23:30 I still did not have it in my marketplace.... Any ideas?? I really need to have access to word in particular.
  16. Its been in the market for quite a while now, just search up documents, or look in the market->apps->all>popularity->change view to price and it should a several items down.

    No, unfortunately. But I've never had anyone send or request anything in Open Document yet anyway, and that's unfortunate too. It's still a M$ world, like it or not (I don't).

    I should say that DocsToGo is not a full installation of M$ Office on a PC or Mac so don't expect it to be. But it's $20, not $300 like Office. It's very basic and It doesn't work well with very large files or with some elaborate formatting or graphics. But for smaller, simpler stuff (which is what you'll want to fool with on a friggin' phone anyway, right?) it's been working well for me.
  18. If you're still having trouble finding Documents To Go in the market, you might want to make sure you have the most up to date OS installed. If you haven't installed the 1.1 update, that could be why you're not seeing it (we've heard this from a few people).

  19. Well, for now Microsoft formats are fine because Google previews them alright. But when I receive Microsoft-formatted stuff that I could not open, I usually just ask for a PDF or OpenDocument and get it.
  20. Hi Jason,

    My Androind System already up2date to version 1.1 and I can't find Documents To Go in the Market software.. Could you help me out?

    Regards.. Richard
  21. I can't find Documents to go either. RoadSync is there, but I want Documents To Go. Can someone put it on a website so I can download it?
  22. If I do a search for "Documents" in the Market, it's the 1st thing that comes up...
