That's my only concern with quickoffice, if they come out with a powerpoint module, i have a feeling they will create a new app and call it quickoffice premium or something. but hopefully they learned their lesson and won't do that but i'm not holding my breath.
Got a tip for us?

Very disappointed with DataViz. Why on earth would they not add spreadsheet creating/ editing to their app? 
They've had long enough to do it. I might have to buy QuickOffice now- which is highly annoying seeing as I was one of their early customers who they conned with QuickSheet.

I wonder if this is going to be work around allowing us the edit and forward Word files attached to emails?

I'd have to agree. Why would they cripple the iPhone app when those features and more are available on other mobile platforms? i"d also say that the excuses that they are giving for why it hasn't been released are getting really annoying. They're still not even saying what the app can and can't do.
I think DataViz have either been rejected by Apple; or like other developers (like WebIs Mobile- Pocket Informant guys) there seems to be a hold up with app approval. No doubt due to WWDC.
I am seriously thinking of trying QuickOffice out again. I've just checked them out on Twitter and they seem pretty active. One of their posts (twitters?) also said that they will eventually bring the QuickOffice version to QuickSheet:
"The new features will be in Quicksheet and Quickword as well, very soon!"
So, maybe I should just wait until they freely(?) update the app I have already purchased
Once Apple plays nice for a change and permits Readdledocs to release an updated version of their app (which will allow uploading to iDisk), you'll have a workaround by forwarding the files to Readdledocs, uploading to iDisk and putting them in your favorite word processing app for editing.
Very interesting but the support document link from docs to go that was listed earlier in the thread that mentioned docs to go would only have .doc editing and no spreadsheet editing is now gone. Docs to go apparently didn't want the negative "publicity"
On a different note, after the news got out that docs to go wouldn't have spreadsheet editing as well as the lengthy time in getting their app approved (i still think it was rejected but the docs to go guys are sticking to their story that apple is dragging their feet), it seems that QuickOffice got a major sales boost and is now the #1 business app in the app store.

Quickoffice just announced the following:
FREE Updates (releasing soon):
- Edit 2007 .DOCX & XLSX files
- Access iPhone email attachments and forward to your Quickoffice application
That's the most convenient workaround without needing Readdledocs and MobileMe/iDisk. I'm still waiting for DTG though. If it sucks compared to Quickoffice (especially with no Excel editing or no indication to include it and Powerpoint editing in future updates), I'll have no choice but to get Quickoffice and look forward to paying another $29.99 for when Quickoffice devs release the full suite with Powerpoint editing.
I just wonder how they are going to accomplish this task. Is there something new in 3.0 that will allow this? Or, are we going to have to forward the document to a Quickoffice server, which will then allow us to download it via our Quickoffice app?
Good question. It could be similar to Readdledocs, unless something new in 3.0 allows this.
Even better, if Quickoffice or DTG could provide the ability to download docs off the net, making Readdledocs redundant.
I'm curious as to how this will be done as well. I assume if we can somehow download attachments from mail then we could also send them back out. I was initially extremely disappointed with quickoffice but it has got better with updates. It still desperately needs Office 2007/08 support. I can afford to wait and see if Dataviz offers something better but it's starting to look like that they won't.
If they add the ability to download files off the web (as someone else said), upload to MobileMe, & edit powerpoint files, Quickoffice can become a major winner for the iPhone and a must have. I certainly wouldn't mind having these as a paid upgrade.
EDIT: It could also be very possible that Docs to Go won't be released until 3.0 is out because features like copy/paste. Chances are that Dataviz has been working mostly with the 3.0 SDK and it utilizes those tools. It would be hard for me to believe that they would release an app with only document editing.
I notice at the bottom of the Docs To Go iPhone blurb it says...
Doesn't actually say when this feature will be added! I notice you CAN edit Excel docs with release 1 of the Android version...

Have you tried posting on the DataViz forums. Seems a better place to seek help.
