Looks interesting. I'm not sure if this is the best place but I'd really love to see a comparison of Word / Excel Editors and combined suites for the iPhone. (Some stand alone (Mariner Calc) and others are full suites (DocumentsToGo when it ships)). This area is the one feature that still has me using Windows Mobile, but I want an iPhone, and my family (who has verizon) may be in line on June 19th.
At least in this case, is the a better app that's easiest to transfer files.

I plan either to purchase a back to school 17" Intel MacBook Pro & spend an extras $170 & receive the 32 GB iPod Touch. The alternative is to wait for the new iPod Touch models at the end of this Back To School inventory reduction sale.
It sounds like these iPhone/iPod Touch spreadsheet programs may be getting good enough to give me a very mobile use of my income tax prep & other accounting programs that I have written for my Mac in Excel. With just simple data entry to find a result or in these cases several results these may handle that. I have a lot of trouble with my Excel 11 (2004) programs when I try to run them in Excel 12(2008) version. Then its all downhill trying to run other Mac spreadsheet programs.
I was able to do most of what I needed on my old Newtons or Palm PDAs. I hope that Mariner Calc 1.2 for iPhone/iPod Touch will be as good those spreadsheet programs are.
By eliminating the printing function most of the required formatting problems will be eliminated. These restrictions being more or less acceptable on a pocket app, far from good enough for a desktop though.
I have a long standing motto. It is: if it is worth doing, do it with a spreadsheet (Excel). Apple should pay you a commission for a sale of a couple of iPod Touchs. Your reviews of these spreadsheet programs are giving me the compelling reason I need to replace my aging Palms.
