There is a third-party API for copying and pasting. They might use that.

As a long-time Palm user, I used Docs2Go daily for just about everything. We do need to be able to email tho, sync without doubt, and bluetooth sync wouldn't hurt.

That said, I still believe the most serious omission facing DataViz will be the missing cut, copy, paste features in the original iPhone software toolbox.

This HAS to be fixed! I'm still having to carry my Palm because of a lack of true functionality in the iPhone.

Hurry, hurry! I really need to be able to email documents that I synch from my PC! Thanks!

As a long time DTG user, I found their apps robust and easy to use. I never really used tehm a lot simply because any serious work was difficult on the Palm and Treo device's small screen. The iPhone's screen may just change that; although the lack of a real keyboard may prove to be frustrating.

As for DataViz's upgrade schemes, I simply skipped various versions until a new feature made it compelling to upgrade. Would I like free upgrades? Sure, but $10 or $20 is not a bad price to pay if it keeps DV updating and adding functionality to their poducts.

@Steve

Agreed! Hopefully Data Viz will get the big picture and make thier app affordable w/o the annual "upgrades". I know when I had my palm way back when I just used to crack apps when I felt they were overpriced. Im sure a lot of people did too. So let's hope they see the benefit of releasing this app at a reasonable price and not "force" anyone to put it on a jailbroken phone for free.

I still don't understand how an office suite can work on a phone that doesn't have copy/paste. (How apple expects iPhone to take a place as a business phone without such simple universally expected functionality for such devices is beyond me.)

I'm sure Dataviz could implement some sort of clipboard for just the Docs2Go suite, but if you can't copy/paste from your email, calendar, notes, etc .... meh.

And maybe they will have there 4 annual “upgrades” at $10 or $20 a pop. I got so sick of them when I had my Palm.

@Terry yes I hope Air Sharing does too. That is a great app. I have found a couple web apps that are promising for document editing but they are just cant beat a native app yet. If docs to go keeps on par with their Palm OS version we’ll be in good shape.

@cherryhead25

I hope I can e-mail documents from my iPhone. I am hoping Air Sharing app adds in this feature.

OMG! Please hurry. Also, hope they put a documents manager list with email support. Does anyone know if the SDK would prohibit that?

@NYR, that’s a bit harsh no? Simply because they don’t have the latest 3g icon you are not holding your breath for Docs to Go… interesting…

They don't even have the new 3G box on their iPhone mock up.

I won't hold my breathe waiting for them.

Sweet!

I loved having it with the 4.5 version of the BB OS.
