Quickoffice has taken its mobile office productivity suite to the iPad with a $14.99 release. The Quickoffice Connect Mobile suite software provides a spreadsheet, word processor and presentation tool, all connected to Web-based storage sharing services such as MobileMe, Dropbox, Google Docs or Box.net. This connection aspect gets around one of the iPad’s weakest features — its ability to transfer documents.
As a portable office, the iPhone/Touch version of these apps were a marvel, but something only the most stranded of business users would rely upon. The software’s reach just didn’t fit in the tiny iPhone screen. If you were stubborn enough, you could use the spreadsheet for taking down figures.
On the iPad’s spacious geography, the software opens up and gives you a great alternative to $30 worth of Apple’s Pages, Numbers and Keynote for the iPad. Everything that Quickoffice creates can be used in Microsoft’s Office applications on the Mac.
Quickoffice has designed a unique interface to take advantage of the iPad’s multitouch abilities. The developer says the app also includes
Power Edit Mode – Easily make edits across your entire document or spreadsheet with our Multi-Edit Toolbox. Quickly format text, numbers, paragraphs, backgrounds, and cells without opening and closing multiple menus. Great for power users and beginners alike.
Single Screen Viewing – Experience the easiest and most intuitive way to navigate horizontally and vertically through your folders and files, and conveniently review file information within a single-screen view.
Advanced Touch Control – Enjoy managing your files with our simple-to-use touch, tap, and drag controls in our advanced Connected File Manager. Scroll in any direction and drag and drop to e-mail, move, copy, and delete files on your iPad or in your remote storage account.
Smooth Page Scrolling – Amazingly cool, single-touch navigation lets you preview page thumbnails and jump to any page in any size document.
