Quickoffice, a vendor of mobile office productivity software, says Quickoffice for iPhone is now available for purchase in iTunes App Store. It's an iPhone application designed to allow editing of Microsoft (News - Alert) Word documents and Excel spreadsheets. 

 

The product also includes file-sharing and content management capabilities. Additional functionality including e-mailing files and drag and drop capabilities, will be available as a free update to customers in the next few weeks.

Obviously this is targeted to road warriors, the mobile professionals and consumers needing access to files while on the go. It also gives you the ability, from the airline terminal, to edit and create .doc files and .xls spreadsheets and play around with text format options, such as font size, style and color. In addition, you can cut, copy and paste text anywhere in Word, including to another document, and edit bulleted and numbered lists as well as edit Word documents in landscape mode with wider keyboard.

 

It is also possible to wrap text at any zoom level and eliminate repetitive left and right scrolling, with access to MobileMe iDisk accounts and iWorks, PDF and other common media files while supporting advanced features and functions for spreadsheets, including revise inputs and recalculate, and insert and resize rows and columns. 

 

David Halpin, vice president of engineering and product development at Quickoffice, claimed the product is "the first iPhone (News - Alert) application that provides full editing of Office documents."

In addition, Quicksheet and Quickoffice Files are also currently on sale in the App Store. Quickoffice Files, formerly MobileFiles 2.0, allows users to access their iDisk accounts, email files directly from the app or transfer via Wi-Fi. Quicksheet, formerly MobileFiles Pro, includes the same functionality of Quickoffice Files and adds an Excel spreadsheet editor.

Quickoffice for iPhone has an introductory price of $19.99, Quicksheet is currently sold for $6.99 and Quickoffice Files currently has a price of $1.99. All three applications are available now for purchase in iTunes. Platforms supported by Quickoffice include Symbian (News - Alert), Palm, BlackBerry, iPhone and Android. Privately held, Quickoffice is based in Dallas with offices in London, Ottawa, and St. Petersburg.
