Guest fraser Posted March 12, 2004 Report Posted March 12, 2004 Hey, I know a little of these guys, nice to see they are going for the SmartPhone now. Their press release is a bit long winded, but I've heard the software they have is pretty cool. It's a document viewer that I believe supports file-format plugins that'll let you view a lot of different files on the phone. The really cool thing is that they don't need converted, you can view doc/excel files, pdfs and so on directly on the phone. Think attachments! :)
