PDF To Go and DataViz Mail Introduced (Updated)

DataViz has released an Add-On Kit for Documents To Go Pro. PDF To Go allows users to view text and tables in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files and DataViz Mail lets users receive e-mail and attachments.

Update: This is a free upgrade for all registered users of Documents To Go 3.000 or higher. Those who have received Documents To Go Pro through a bundle offer can purchase the Add-on Kit for $20.

PDF files will show on the handheld as view only, similar to the way PDF files are viewed on the desktop. DataViz Mail acts as an e-mail conduit, allowing users to receive attachments to e-mails when synching mail. DataViz Mail works with Outlook, Outlook Express, and Lotus Notes and supports attachaments from Word and Excel, WordPerfect, Quattro Pro, and Lotus 1-2-3.

"When we asked our customers how we could continue to improve Documents To Go, PDF support and access to e-mail attachments were the most often requested features," said Scott Thomas, Palmtop Product Manager for DataViz. "As handhelds continue to evolve, we hope to further improve our products to meet our customers' changing needs."

Naturally, this Add-On Kit requires Documents To Go Pro, which costs $50 but is bundled on the new Palm m500 and m505.

There in no Macintosh version oif the e-mail conduit.
