    Related: has anyone found how you can view "tracked changes" on a word doc while using an iphone? Whenever people attach such docs in emails to me, I have to wait until I'm back on my laptop or desktop to even see the changes - let alone make edits.

    I really hope they update this for iPhone 3.0's cut/copy/paste feature and add landscape editing.

    @blakecr: Wait. What was so stupid about what he said? He makes a valid point. I hope that Dataviz DROPS their version of copy and paste when they update this app for OS 3.0. It's better to have consistency and, now with 3.0, use Apple's native cut-copy-paste feature. Regardless, I'm picking up this app right now. For 5$, it's a steal.

    @TheSonOfKrypton: Don't worry about that... any text that can be selected/edited on the 3.0 can be copied/pasted. There's no need to optimize apps for it as far as i have been able to tell.


    It works retroactively and between apps.

    @Falsoman:

    That's not actually true.


    It's not a matter of optimizing, but implementing. Every app has to support it. Apple is just providing the libraries.


    As it stands, the clipboard on Documents To Go will only work in that app.

    @Lukasz Fabis: My bad, then, but i've seen that basicly any app that has some sort of text entry (at least the ones i have) let you copy/paste from any source, that includes from tap tap revenge, to documents, to bejeweld. It doesn't work with the text of the books in stanza, but it works perfectly well with the book info that you can edit.


    Of course the clipboard on DTG will only work within the app, but does it ONLY have that kind of copy/paste?


    I'm sure that's something they're gonna remedy if that's the case but for now it would suck.

    Can you 'pinch to zoom' or are you going to have to eye squint to see something ultra microscopic ?

    I talk to management, open web browsers, read e-mails, tend to tickets, ignore twitter, start Pandora, get a snack, clone a server, adjust file server quotas, read scripts out loud, test gameplay, stream media, deploy content...like a boss.

    how bout getting yourself a smartphone and tether up a personal laptop? That way you're completely "off the grid". Keep your personal surfing personal folks... who knows when it'll come back and bite you in the ass at work.

    You'd be better off just getting yourself a smartphone and leave the laptop at home. Of course, nobody would ever notice you texting non-stop right?

    I'm currently listening to MC Lars, reading Radius documentation, tweaking a firewall, reading Giz, posting to giz, tweaking Apache configs, tweaking MySQL configs, writing documentation, comparing cruises for vacation, and generally running flat out 100 mph with my hair and pants on fire.


    And they're OK with me doing that as long as the printer and internet doesn't break.

    $20 seems like a bargain for this app - I don't know what others are talking about.


    I've had versions of this software on just about every handheld I've ever owned, and I've always been impressed. I don't know if I would actually use it that much, since it is a little hard to crank out documents on the iPhone, but perhaps a little light editing would be possible, and might save me from having to boot up a laptop.


    I do think I'll wait until I see OS3.0 come out. This obviously has cut-n-paste cabability, but not outside the application. Once Apple has its cut-n-paste implemented, this could be a really useful app.

    @ryanbrenner: I can't tell if this is a serious post or not, but did you miss the word Edit in the title? You can;t create documents, you can only edit and save them. So for example you are on a business trip and you need to edit a file that you need you can, but not start off and make a new one.
