Dataviz Showcasing Documents To Go 3.0 At Google I/O
The first thing many of my friends ask me about when they get their first Android phone is how to view Microsoft office files. Android does not ship with any office suites, but there are some viable options in the market. Perhaps the biggest of these options come from Dataviz, who makes Documents To Go.
Available in both Free and Paid variations (Free version is read-only), it allows you to view and edit your Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint files, as well as the ability to view PDF files. They’re gearing up to launch version 3.0 of their suite, now, and it looks like they’ll have some exciting things to show off at Google I/O this Wednesday.
The biggest upgrade they’re touting is support for Office 2010 files (complete with password protection). Other notable improvements include a better file managing experience, multi-touch support for the PDF viewer, and a Windows application that will allow you to sync files between your Android phone and your PC.
I picked this app up during the Cinco De Mayo sale where they were offering the paid version for just $5.55. It was a definite steal considering all you get with it (and considering that the app is normally $14.99-$29.99 depending on what specials they’re running). Even for $30, the mobile professional and student will get all of their money’s worth out of this powerful application, and it looks to only get better starting at Google I/O tomorrow.
