CTIA 09: DataViz announces Word/Excel software and push Exchange email for Android
Documents To Go Standard gives you the ability to view, edit, and create Microsoft Word and Excel files on the G1. Files can be transferred to the G1 via Bluetooth, USB, and memory cards as well as received via email. I tried it out initially and plan to post a more detailed video and review of the applications after further testing. You will find that Documents To Go includes editing and viewing features such as bold, italics, underline, embedded photos, comments, word count, multiple sheets, and much more. I do not see charting support in Excel. So far I have found it to be very snappy and it looks fantastic. If you need Office documents on your G1 I highly recommend you pick this up soon since they have an introductory US$19.99 price with the regular price of US$29.99.
RoadSync is available as a free beta until 31 May and gives you push email with attachment support. There is no calendar sync capability yet. For contacts, DataViz adds a new group to your integrated contacts and the server updates the device only so there is no two-way sync with contacts. In regards to email functionality, you will find your email appears in a separate RoadSync Mail shortcut/application so it is separate from your IMAP/POP accounts. I don't yet see subfolder support and some more advanced features, but this is the first beta so just to see push email working out of the box is highly encouraging to me.
Applications like this are essential for the adoption of Android and I am pleased to finally see them hit the platform.
