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.

Apple’s AppStore on the WWW

appstore

Maybe some of you might knew about this, but i just found out about it. The Apple AppStore is finally on the web. The appstore itself it was a revolutionary release, changing the way users conception about finding and install applications for their mobile phones.

This online version of the App Store, which is clearly not sanctioned by Apple, runs on Google’s App Engine. As Amit Agarwal notes, Apple uses a rather cryptic XML format for delivering the pages in iTunes. However, the developers of the online App Store have found a way to decrypt these XML files and render them as regular HTML.

There are some limitations tho, because at one point or the other, you need to run iTunes in order to install an app. Given Apple’s litigious nature, we don’t know if this version of the App Store will be around for a very long time, but it’s a great resource if you just want to link to an app in the store, for example, without your users having to open the desktop iTunes app (which, after all, is not available on all operating systems).

SNAPTELL – IMAGE RECOGNITION ON YOUR iPhone

Since the holiday/shopping season is here, i decided to present you another useful app for this time of year. Well, to be honest , this app is useful anytime so, let’s begin :

This is a simple and useful app , that uses iPhone’s camera to find more info about DVDs, CDs, Video Games, and Books.All you need to do is to point and shoot the cover of any or this items and you good to go. I was actually surprised on how accurate the search was. And not only that was accurate, it was quick and painless as well.

What do i mean by painless? I mean i didn’t need to take 2-3-4 shoots of one product , in order for the app to recognize it and send me the results.

Depending on the product, your options for additional information will be: Buy from Amazon.com, IMDb, GameSpot, WikiPedia, Rotten Tomato, or the Google and Yahoo search results. All of these locations load up right in the app itself.

The items that you’ve looked for will remain in the SnapTell Explorer screen until you delete it. Of course , you can leave all the info there for later reference.

This app looks and feel a lot like Amazon’s Remembers , but the only difference is that , SnapTell has a wider field of search.

All in all , this is a very useful app and best of all IT IS FREE and you can download it from the appstore.
