For and Against: the case for the two UIQ Office suites
Published by Steve Litchfield at 8:07 UTC, July 12th 2005
We summarise the relative strengths of the two major UIQ office suites.
Elsewhere on AllAboutSymbian, I have reviewed (here and here) each of the Office contenders on the Symbian UIQ platform, along with a potted history of each. Both Office suites for UIQ are available in fully working, time-limited trial form and the best course of action is for you to download, try and buy in your own computing environment.
To help you choose which to try first, here's a simple tabular comparison of the strengths of each product.
| Quickoffice Premier 3.0 | Documents To Go 2.0 |
- More standalone functionality in the UIQ Office applications
- Support for multiple languages
- The Quickpoint module has full editing functions
- Quickpoint can drive a presentation via Bluetooth from your UIQ smartphone
- New worksheets can be added within Quicksheet
Quickword supports generic .txt file formats
| - Images shown within Word To Go, aiding readability and ensuring that images don't get accidentally deleted
- Full range of font sizes and table formatting shown in Word To Go
- Faster document opening and saving
- InTact technology means that there's perfect document integrity when 'round-tripping' Word and Excel files back to the desktop
- Works with more versions of Office (and Open Office)
