I’ve had the same problem as Alan Broderick. DataViz has always been super-concerned about anyone ripping them off, so working with them is tough. IN this case, I bought the iPhone app and never got the email for the desktop sync. When I went to DataViz, they recognized my prior version of Docs to Go but want a regi number for the iPhone version — which I don’t have because I didn’t get an email. You’re caught in DataViz’ paranoia, Alan.

Alan – sorry to hear about your trouble (really), but I thought MAC’s never got errors and were so intuitive that they didn’t require support… Go ahead MAC-lover’s, feel free to flame me. I don’t hate MAC, or love Windows for that matter, just find this amusing.

Sounds like it makes sense to wait a few days to see how Dataviz D2G adjusts to the new iPhone 3.0 release today.

Well, having installed the iPhone App of DocsToGo, and received the link to download the desktop sync software, I downloaded it and attempted to install it, but whenever I run it, it closes and I get the error message "Documents to Go closed unexpectedly" (Mac OS Leopard).

Dataviz offer NO e-mail support for the new DocsToGo and having searched their website I have not found any fix. So what do I do now? Tought sh*t?!

I've uninstalled all previous Palm and Documnents-to-go software manually, and repaired all permissions, but still it quits.

Very annoyed at this and at the lack of support.

Any ideas people?

The desktop sync only works over wireless and not direct cable connection like Palm Desktop did... I don't have wireless at work, so that means all my syncing has to be done at home.

Not real impressed so far for all the hype it generated.

Am I the only one missing a Pages editing feature? Or is there any app capable of doing this?

When you register it, they email you a link for the desktop program.

I cannot find where you download the Mac Desktop Sync? Where is that link?

You can't paste something into DocsToGo that was copied/cut anywhere outside of DocsToGo.

You can't copy something using DocsToGo's custom copy/paste and then paste it anywhere else except inside the DocsToGo app.

You can copy from DocsToGo's spreadsheet viewer to iPhone 3.0's native copy/paste and paste it any other app. This is because DocsToGo uses the iPhone's native spreadsheet viewer, so it's just like copying text from a spreadsheet attachment in the Mail app.

The Word text editor is pretty nice. It has font effects (bold, italic, underline, colored text, background colors for text), five different choices for how paragraphs are aligned/justified, bulleted lists and numbered lists, indentations, find text, zooming, undo/redo, word count info, and probably more hidden stuff I haven't even seen yet. Once they implement spreadsheet editing and the iPhone 3.0's native copy/paste, this will be an incredible app.
