Mariner Software’s Mariner Calc Promises Full Excel Spreadsheet Editing For iPhone 2.0

Tweet

Arguably its been a long time coming, bearing in mind that, whilst viewing Excel spreadsheets using Apple’s iPhone is by no means a revelation the emphasis has very much been on merely viewing as opposed to editing, but now, thanks to Mariner Software’s up and coming Mariner Calc iPhone 2.0 application, at last you’ll also be able to edit spreadsheets as well as peruse them (a bonus for people such as myself who, for some odd reason, feels compelled to log just about everything in one of numerous Excel spreadsheets).

According to the president of Mariner Software, Michael Way, the application’s coding is around 80%-90% completed and, of the few details release concerning the application’s capabilities it’s already sounding particularly impressive in not only offering viewing and editing of Excel spreadsheets in their native file format (i.e., no file conversion is required in order for .xls files to be displayed and manipulated) but also catering for spreadsheets spanning up to 10,000 rows and 32,000 columns. Moreover, as well as supporting multiple sheets, Mariner Calc for the iPhone 2.0 will also cater for charting as well as provide full object support.

No word as yet concerning when the Mariner Calc iPhone 2.0 application will become available (though it has been confirmed that it will retail via Apple’s Application Store).
