DataViz makes excellent software products for mobile platforms like Documents To Go and RoadSync and has announced no webOS client is coming. They may also have been purchased by RIM.

History tends to repeat itself, albeit with different commanders on both sides. DataViz managed to dispatch both MobiSystems and QuickOffice in the Palm game some time ago – and QuickOffice now seems to get the upper hand.

A statement on the DataViz Facebook page reads as following:

We regret to announce that we have made the difficult decision to not produce a Web OS version of Documents To Go. We understand that our delay in this area has caused much disappointment to our current and very loyal user base. We would like to explain in more detail the reasoning behind our decisions thus far.

Our intention had been to replace the Palm Viewers, which were based on the Documents To Go technology, with a full editing, aftermarket version of Documents To Go. In order to do this in a way that we felt would be most intuitive to users, we wanted to have the full version seamlessly replace the built in viewers. To do this, we needed some technical help from Palm. Because Palm was focusing on other areas at the time (including their very survival), and there was no official information available allowing developers to help ourselves, i.e., an SDK, there was a delay in getting us this information. Rather than do a substantially larger project that would result in a “sub-optimal” user experience, we decided to wait. This wait was much longer than anyone at DataViz expected. During this wait, we focused our efforts on other smartphone platforms, not because we were not loyal to Palm, but because it made “business sense” to do so. We have now come to the realization that it is not in DataViz’ nor our users’ best interests to continue the wait and produce the full version. We understand that another developer has chosen to create an editing Office product for webOS and we wish them the best. Again, we apologize to our users for taking this long to reach, what is for DataViz and many of our users, a disappointing conclusion.

This also explains why the attempts of another third party to get a guaranteed amount of sales from Palm has failed – looks like QuickOffice is the new DataViz for Palm.

P.S. Anyone want to bet whether DataViz’s viewers will still be in webOS 2.0?
