DataViz and Palm have announced their continued alliance with the latest addition of Documents To Go for Palm Foleo mobile companions. The award-winning mobile Office suite, Documents To Go, will provide Foleo customers with the ability to create, view and edit Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint compatible files on their mobile companions. The Palm Foleo is the first computer designed to be a companion to a smartphone. With the press of one button, the mobile companion's large screen displays wireless email from a smartphone paired via Bluetooth technology. A full-size keyboard makes editing email and attachments quick and easy, and the built-in web browser provides reliable wireless Internet access. With Foleo's instant on/off capability, light and small size, and 5-hour battery life, Palm expects the mobile companion to establish a new category of personal-computing products.

Documents To Go allows users to create, view and edit native Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint compatible files on a Palm Foleo mobile companion. In addition to retaining all original file formatting with InTact Technology, Documents To Go works with the built-in Foleo email application to access a wide variety of attachments, from sales contracts to sports schedules. Furthermore, file access also can be achieved through use of an SD Card (sold separately) and Bluetooth technology.

By building the Foleo on an open Linux-based platform and publishing the tools developers might need, Palm hopes to establish a vibrant developer community to create new applications that extend the mobile companion's built-in capabilities. Documents To Go demonstrates how exciting technology and applications can be ported to the Foleo mobile companion.
