Long-Awaited Mobile Spreadsheet Available in App Store

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mariner Software, developers and publishers of professional and personal software, earlier this month announced the immediate availability from the Apple App Store of their first iPhone and iPod Touch application, Mariner Calc. In development for more than a year, Mariner Calc takes advantage of the company's nearly two decades of spreadsheet experience on the Macintosh operating system. It also introduces leading edge functionality for the iPhone - the ability to view and edit native Microsoft files (.xls format Excel 97 and up).

Whether a business user on the road or a home user in need of access to Excel files on an iPhone or iPod Touch, Mariner Calc is the perfect solution. Mariner Calc includes 24 math functions, 18 finance functions, 17 trig functions, 13 statistics functions, 14 lookup functions plus logic, date, text, and info functions - with many more on the way. It also supports splitting panes and freezing, as well as creating borders and changing fonts, colors and alignment. Landscape and portrait views are both available.

Other features include:

-View native excel files (.xls format Excel 97 and up - Windows and Mac)

-Edit native Excel files (.xls format Excel 97 and up - Windows and Mac)

-Wirelessly transfer files to and from your computer

-32,000 by 256 column support

-Supports cut, copy, paste, undo, and redo

"While there are other spreadsheet apps out there, the differentiator is Mariner Calc for iPhone supports both reading and writing of Microsoft Excel files," said Michael Wray, President of Mariner Software. "We think it's going to be one of the most sought-after apps for the business and enterprise market, particularly for users that need to not only view but also edit their spreadsheets on the road."
