It isn’t really referring to the topic, however my wife just walked by and seen the word blogger on the monitor. In her eyes, she actually seen booger, and asked me why I was interested in boogers. I haven’t laughed so hard in a few weeks.

Does anyone know if the Copy/Paste function will copy from a Word doc and then paste to another screen or app (like pasting to an email or even a Craigslist posting for example)? Thanks.

I have been waiting for this app for ages…!! http://iphone-office.blogspot.com/2009/04/quickoffice-suite-for-iphone-first-real.html

Actually I’d be happy with just correctly reading office documents. I know the iphone is already supposed to do so but almost every excel I sent it and definitely every power point has made it crash. I guess the power points from my company are too big but still… When I am the one sending it so I can read the document on the phone it is OK as I convert to pdf but usually I receive documents to read by mail and not being able to open them is really a pity.

@Art your first message didn’t make any sense at all.

If this gets a good review I’d tap that

I hate to break it to you all, but it appears that this will be a separate $19.99 app and not an update to existing users (this was “MobileFiles Pro” and was an update that was originally promised). This company will absolutely lose me as a user along with many others .

And for those thinking paying 19.99 for a productive app is crazy, check this out

I think we might have gotten used to all the 99 cents apps, because charging 19.99 for any very well within, if not below, average when it comes to other phones. A productive application for BB or for Windows Mobile is almost cheap.

My guess is they’d be using the Office Live Add-on for Office 2007.

@ Larry

Well Quickoffice is from the world of Symbian really where they get away with charging silly prices for apps (eg most games being over £15 :-/)

Seems they haven't grasped the Appstore app price point yet

No way. The $19.99 price point seems a little absurd.

@frog: LOL!!!.. Why can’t they just wait for 3.0, they wouldn’t have to implement copy + paste at all.. or text selection. It’s there automatically in 3.0.

@ shollomon I’d say that we will see a lot more wired sync apps when 3.0 is released, as Apple has released the API for dock access, and I’m pretty sure that involves letting you use the iPod cable…

Bold font costs an extra $0.99, via in-app purchase on 3.0!

I’m curious: how is it launched? If I click on a Word or Excel doc in my email, will it launch this? Where will the documents be stored?

Sounds great. But yeah, when 3.0 had it’s own copy and paste, they can do away with the tab at the bottom to copy and paste. I would only pay 19.99 if I really needed to edit things on the go. However, starting college next year, who knows… This might come in handy.

I have my hopes up for iWork for iPhone, but at least there are other options developing

I’ve been waiting for word and excel on the iphone, but not with WiFi sync to desktop. Every WiFi sync app I’ve tried is a POS. I want wired sync to the desktop.

I too have been waiting for Docs2Go, but this seems just as nice. Hope to review it when it comes out!

Yeh! I’ve been holding out for DocsToGo but if this comes along first, hey fine with me!

This will be awesome! Maybe now DocstoGo will finally get it’s a$& in gear!!!
