DataViz a few years ago released a very promising product called Documents To Go. The main idea behind this application was to give mobile users the chance to manipulate Microsoft Office documents on a portable device.

It was the days when the Palm m100 just got out—when mobile devices without a color screen were still a normal thing to deal with—that I got to know this interesting product from DataViz.

I tried it back then, even through as many versions as I could install in my handheld, and it was great. It could never be a complete substitute to the desktop version for me, but it was a very powerful option for viewing and editing those Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents on the go.

Now DataViz has announced they’re working on a version of Documents To Go for the iPhone. They haven’t announced a released date yet, but you can visit their website and subscribe to receive e-mail updates in order to be one of the first to know the availability of the product.

I can’t wait to see how they manage to take advantage of the iPhone interface and capabilities to improve an already mature suite.
