I recently reviewed Quickoffice Mobile Office Suite 1.1.1 for the iPhone, and found that it's a capable first stab at a document editing program--with some serious omissions. It turns out that Quickoffice has been listening. The company just announced version 1.2, which includes a number of additional features--including some that should have been there in version 1.0.For Quicksheet, the Excel file editor, users can now edit cells in landscape mode. In addition, Quicksheet now supports direct double-tap cell editing in both landscape and portrait mode; copy and paste for columns, rows and cells; improved formula building; and the ability to add a new sheet within a worksheet.
Meanwhile, Quickword (the Word document editor) adds auto-correct--hooray!--along with auto-capitalization; a search function; indentation level adjustments for bulleted lists, numbered lists and paragraphs; and double tapping space bar to enter a period. Finally, Quickoffice Files now lets you run slideshows of images for remote and local folders, and you can also bookmark the last viewed position in a given document.
The updates are free to all current owners, and will apply both to the full $19.99 suite as well as the individual $12.99 apps. Quickoffice already submitted the updated versions to Apple and are just waiting for approval before they can appear in the App Store.
