MS Office for iPhone

Dataviz, well-known for their Palm OS Software re promising to bring MS Office editing to the iPhone via their new app, DocumentsToGo. The app will be demoed at the Mobile World Congress which runs February 16-19 in Barcelona. The app will also run on Android.

Pricing information has not been released, but the app for Palm OS runs $89.99 in its fullest form, with two lighter version at $49.99 (doesn’t support Outlook on that version) and $29.99 (missing a ton of features, like Mac-created doc support). It’d be interesting to see if they stay at that price point or try to go lower – they really have no competition in this arena.

The closest competitor at the moment is MobileFiles Pro by Quickoffice, which only allows for editing of Excel files, and reading of other MS Office documents. That app sells for $9.99.

Cydia Now Available On The Web

ModMyi.com just made my dream come true. This statement is true or false? Well let’s see : not true, but not false. Why so confused? 🙂 Well they lunched something i wanted for a long time , which means that the statement its not false. But they didnt make my dream come true, because well… i dont have such low ambitions.

Anyway, they recently ( i believe ) released a web version of Cydia where you can search all the repos for apps. Cydia apps listings show basic information about each application as well as a screenshot. You can check webCydia ( thats how i call it ) here
