Doc² 3.0: iPhone word processing with Google Docs, iDisk goodness
When it comes to using an iPhone as a word processor, I'm probably not the person you want to talk to. After all, I've never been a fan of writing on handheld devices -- I can type much faster on a regular computer keyboard than I can tap words into my iPhone with a couple of fingers. However, from time to time I have to edit documents while I'm away from my Mac, and that's where Microsoft Word-compatible applications such as Byte²'s Doc² 3.0 [US$3.99 (sale price), iTunes Link] come in handy. I had been using Quickoffice [US$9.99, iTunes Link], which is essentially Microsoft Office in an iPhone app. QuickOffice can handle creation and editing of Microsoft Word .doc and .docx files, Excel .xls and .xlsx files, and text files. When Doc² appeared in late December, I decided to ask the developer for a review copy of the app. What I found was an app that has a lot of promise, but is currently overshadowed by the capabilities of several other Office suite apps that are available for the iPhone platform.
