As an aside, we ought to start a poll, even in this geek heaven, of how many users ever really heavily edited a document or spreadsheet on a handheld device - converged or not. I've argued for the need for it for years, BUT have rarely ever done it. View them - yes - all the time,
have already gone down that road and more times than not many still like to say that they really do. but i always end up asking them this: how many rows and columns are the spreadsheets that are being viewed? seriously, my spreadsheets are too large (literally mb's in size, can be thousand rows deep and over a hundred wide) and cannot be viewed with any real success. if their spreadsheets consist of two rows and five columns, i guess it could work for them. as for word docs, again, so many would respond in a manner that would lead you to believe that they are in fact reading pages of material, editing, cutting/pasting, typing lengthy responses and the like. i personally don't buy it, and if they are in fact doing all of the above, they must be in the smallest percentile group of that type of user. really, when out and about and you find a treo user, ask him/her if she does/doesn't. there used to be hundreds of them around me (here at work) and no one ever did outside of perhaps reading and responding (lots of that) to their email, viewing pdf's and word docs. forget about viewing or working in a spreadsheet.
