December 9, 2009

DataViz is now providing Viewer Edition of Documents To Go for Nokia's new N900 tablet computer and its Linux-based Maemo 5 platform. The software allows users to read Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files and attachments (including Office 2007 formats).

There's been no word on when a version of Documents To Go that'll allow N900 owners to edit Office files as well read them will become available. We'll keep you posted.

Features of Documents To Go Viewer Edition for Maemo include:

  •  
  • Multiple levels of zooming
  •  
  • Support for links in Table of Contents as well as Web site hyperlinks
  •  
  • Find a specific cell or section of text, making large files easier to handle
  •  
  • Password Protection
  •  
  • Footnotes/Endnotes & Comments - With a tap you can view any of these items in your document or spreadsheet

    More on N900
    The N900 is Nokia's first smartphone to not run on the Symbian OS. It looks a lot like Nokia's previous Wi-Fi tablets—the N810, N800, and N777—the latter, the first model in the series, shipped way back in the fall of 2005.

    The N900 sports a WVGA touch display with a slide-out keyboard, a 5 megapixel camera with (as is Nokia's usual practice) a Carl Zeiss lens, 32GB of internal memory, Bluetooth, and a microSD slot to expand storage capacity to as much as 48GB.

    It uses a ARM Cortex-A8 processor and includes up to 1GB of application memory and OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics acceleration.

    The tablet has a Mozilla-based browser and features full Adobe Flash 9.4 support. Flash is the most widely used platform for videos and animations on the Internet. Also, Maemo software updates occur automatically over the Web.

    Nokia Messaging service supports up to ten e-mail accounts. Text message or IM exchanges with friends are shown in one view and all conversations are organized as separate windows.

    The N900 sells for about $650.
