I guess the cat is out of the bag now!

Today, the fine folks over at macworld.com wrote about what we have been diligently working on for the past few months...Mariner Calc for the iPhone. I blogged about it a bit a little while ago but, effective today, the Mac community, or at least some of the readership of macworld.com, now know what our first effort into these uncharted waters (note the Mariner/ocean-going reference - ;-) will be. While there is still quite a bit of the unknown, I can tell you we are focusing on a core set of functionality. Here's a list of a few of the top features:
1. View native excel files
2. _Edit_ native excel files
3. 1,000,000 by 32,000 row and column support
4. CocoaTouch native application
5. Support for multiple sheets
6. Chart and object support
Stay tuned, folks. This is going to get interesting. :-)

This is not totally relevant. I run a network with both Mac's and PC's. It would be neat if the Mac and PC versions of your journal software could read each other's files. It could be an information hub on our network. Any respnse?
Hi Anonymous-
Yes, that's a question we field weekly. We are looking into it but I can't say whether or not it will ever happen. There are some some issues beyond technical on that one.

This is freaking impressive! Beating Apple, Microsoft, Google, and anyone else out the door with Excel editing capabilities. I'm stoked.

An anxious customer
if they see fit, we would be interested in testing your application Mariner calc for iPhone to perform a review on our blog in spanish www.mackinando.com
Excel (and Word) editing capabilities on the iPhone or iPod touch is probably one of the top three items on the list of "why my iPhone could be better", and I'm very excited to hear about this product.
But I also have to agree with anyonymous on the MacJournal and WinJournal incompatibility being any even bigger gripe. What exactly does "issues beyond technical" mean?
I work for a studio in L.A. and have been anxiously watching the Mariner site for a universally compatible version of the journaling software so that I can convince all the creative "powers that be" at work to use it - and then check out Montage and Story Mill while they are at it!
Hi, we are from a french company editing a new version of our data sharing service (able to publish a shared volume through the WebDAV protocol). We were wondering if a custom version of this service could help you to bridge your office editing capabilities with a storage point easily reachable from the Finder or a Windows Explorer (WebDAV is natively recognize by both platforms).
Thanks in advance,

Then there's most of us. I just want a non-web-based spreadsheet program on my iPod Touch. A resident application. I already use MarinerCalc on my iMac -- I was given Excel free and tried and chose not to use it.
Simple for my little device is good enough for me. I need in no particular order:
1. Full screen view where I can scroll in any direction with my fingertip.
2. Control of foreground and font color in each cell to make things pretty.
3. Rudimentary arithmetic.
4. The ability to make a spreadsheet from scratch on the little device instead of importing an existing one.
5. The ability to import MarinerCalc documents. Be bold, act like your existing product matters too.
6. A "simple" mode where the above can be quickly accessed without having to wade through a ton of esoteric features.
heeeey! hope you can make it!!!! it'd be so cool and useful; what ipod touch needs to be completely awesome
Any idea when you'll be sending a version to Apple?
We talking a week, or 6 months?
