In addition, this suite will contain apps that will allow users to create and edit Microsoft Word and PowerPoint files.

All versions of DocsToGo employ DataViz's InTact Technology, which maintains all a documents' original formatting.

RoadSync, Too

DataViz has also announced that RoadSync, its Exchange ActiveSync client, will be available for Android.

Based on the ActiveSync protocol licensed from Microsoft, this application will provide secure, wireless, and direct push synchronization with Microsoft Exchange Server. It will support email and personal information management data, such as calendar and contacts.

DataViz says these two application are expected to debut next year, but didn't get any more specific than that.
