DataViz specializes in document compatibility. Their Documents to Go software is being bundles with OS 4.5 when it’s released, and will allow BlackBerry users to edit Word, Excel, Powerpoint and other document types right from their phone. So far, Documents to Go is the only BlackBerry software they offer (well, plan on offering) so we’ll surely get to see it in action at WES.

Josep recently posted some screenshots of the upcoming DataViz Documents to Go announced at Lotusphere. Documents to Go has been letting Palm, Windows Mobile and Symbian users edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint files for awhile now – about time it comes to BlackBerry, eh? After this first step, maybe we can look forward to wireless syncing to desktop documents sometime soon. Still, we can look forward to Documents to Go being bundled in with OS 4.5 due mid-’08.
Stefano spotted a nice spreadsheet viewer and editor for your BlackBerry called GridMagic. BlackBerry supports viewing Excel spreadsheets as attachments, but editing has been lacking without a full-featured software package like eOffice, but Simprit is offering the Community Edition of GridMagic for free, letting you do some basic functions on your BlackBerry. For quick tasks like inputting information, resizing rows and columns, and finding particular cells, this sounds like a sweet deal. Of course, if you’re looking for something more professional, they offer extended versions, right up to full-blown BES support.
