that is also a route one could take. however, whenever ive messed around with doing this it doesnt seem to format correctly and it ends up being hard to read.

maybe it was just the documents i was looking at. it just didnt load the document (with graphics) in a way that was conducive to easy reading. also, the excel documents i tried looking at wouldnt show all of the cells. only those in the upper left hand corner unless i zoomed out enough to where it was too small to read.

this could all very well be user error though. im just giving my personal experiences. this was all done a little over a month ago too. i havent tried since then.

I've seen some useless polls in my time.....this one ranks number two I think.  Or maybe tied for first.

Dataviz is working on an Android version of Documents To Go. I can't wait!!!
That will give full MS Word & Excel reading and editing.

That just tells you how much I like their software, and how much I want it for the G1.

It looks like a very nice piece of software, but I think it will be out of my price range for a mobile software suite.  I would probably barely ever use it anyway.  I would love if we can get a decent PDF viewer though.  The one on the market right now sucks and doesn't render many of the PDFs I try.

I purchased it for my Sony Clie' back in the day. Moved it to my 650. Then when I got the 680, it already had it. So yeah, I'm ready to purchase again.
