I am looking for a pdf reader that can save pdf files and word docs to my iphone. I did a little research and saw these were the top two. I know datacase is a little pricier ($2) but price is not an issue (I dont say that too often :)

Which one would you recommend? :D

I've had both, preferred Datacase as it was able to handle more complex pdf files better but then switched to MobileFiles which knocked the spots off both.

Try Memory Stick. It know it can store Word files (unsure about pdfs, but very likely) and its just $0.99.

Personally, I went the Air Sharing/Datacase route, but yearned for more function at the end of the day. I finally settled on iStorage. It can store/view the files/pics, but you can also create/edit txt files, e-mail them, upload them onto the web, or even download any files off of the internet (via its built-in web browser). It's the best app your going to find as a file manager. The price it $5.99, but its worth every penny.

I second iStorage.

The latest update really helped with web downloads.

It really is the Swiss Army knives of all the file management apps.

I will as soon as I get my usb cable. No jailbreaking required, free, and seems a bit more convenient than messing with wifi transfers. Great more work's friggin Windows computer too.

And a fine update it was. Since this update, I have yet to find a webpage on the internet that can stump iStorage.

This sounds very interesting, considering the current SDK restricts against USB transfering of files...

However, this sounds more of a desktop program, rather than an iPhone app. Then, where does it store the uploaded files? That website is lacking in details - sounds like vaporware if you ask me.
