DataViz has recently released Documents To Go Premium Edition 3.0 for devices running Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.x Professional and 5.0 for Pocket PC Phone Edition.

Already available for Windows Mobile Standard, BlackBerry, Symbian and Palm OS, Documents To Go will now allow users of Windows Mobile Pocket PC devices to “view, edit and create Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files as well as view PDF files on their devices and in their native formats.” I could only add I don’t see that many people paying an additional $29.99 to go beyond the built-in Microsoft Office Mobile.

Documents To Go features include support for password protected Word and Excel files, InTact Technology for retaining 100% file formatting when editing files on the device, the ability to view, edit and create Excel charts and decompress, zip and send e-mail attachments.

At the moment application only works on devices with QVGA screens, but Dataviz vowed to release the version for the HTC Touch Pro and HTC Touch Diamond — both of which sport a VGA touchscreen — in the “next several weeks.”

Audi of America is all proud to announce that they’ve released the first ever iPhone application from an auto manufacturer. The so called “Audi A4 Challenge” is a driving game that utilizes the iPhone’s accelerometer to steer the new Audi 2009 A4 through a series of “progressively challenging courses.” You won’t be competing against other players, though — you’ll race against the clock to beat you own personal best time.

But it’s not just the iPhone app Audi has launched. A dedicated A4 iPhone experience website featuring videos, wallpapers and more has also been created as part of the campaign. From there you can experience and learn more about the new Audi A4, which BTW will hit dealerships nationwide starting from September 2008.

The application is now available free of charge on Apple’s AppStore.

Just over a month into the iPhone 3G’s global sales push, it seems that Apple is about to see their iPhone 3G fleet surpass the number of original iPhones out in the wild. Basically, it comes down to Apple selling more iPhone 3G units, in less than two months, than the number of iPhones sold in a year of sales.

Sometime next week, we’re expecting Apple to pass the 6 million-unit mark with iPhone 3G sales. The iPhone 3G needed just a single weekend to move a cool million units in to eager iPhone hopefuls’ hands, and with sales still blazing around the world, we’ll likely see the iPhone 3G smash through more sales goals as time goes by.

Interestingly, sales of the iPhone 3G are still mighty strong despite scattered reports of 3G connectivity issues. That, dear readers, is the power of a truly unique and appealing UI.

Sure, the HTC TyTn II (Kaiser) has already been playing nice with the Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM for some time now, courtesy of HTC. But, those of you with AT&T’s own-branded version of the HTC Kaiser - the AT&T Tilt - have had to wait for AT&T and HTC to join forces and roll-out a carrier-branded version of the Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM. That wait, dear Kaiser-users, is now over.

AT&T and HTC have finally made good on their promise (well, more like our expectations) to bring AT&T Tilt users the long-awaited Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM update. The new WM6.1 ROM brings new features and functionality to the AT&T Tilt:

• Windows Mobile 6.1
• HTC Home Screen
• Video Share Calling
• Threaded SMS
• MS Voice Command
• OneNote Mobile
• Remote Desktop Monitor
• Enroll Domain
• Managed Programs
• PTT Button now available for reassignment under Start>Settings>Buttons.

What are you waiting for? Head on over to HTC and grab the WM6.1 update for your AT&T Tilt already!

Flickup is one of those apps which you need from time to time (or constantly for avid photo takers) and just don’t understand why it takes a third-party to make it — why on Earth Flickr haven’t made an app to do this is beyond me. Since “it is what it is,” smart developers are using this to their advantage.

Anyway, with Flickup you can upload full, 2 megapixel photos to Flickr directly from your iPhone. Best of all, if you own the iPhone 3G, the application will also include the GPS data with the upload. To be fair, Flickup won’t include the data where the photo is taken — rather, it will rely on the place from where the image is uploaded. Still, if you snap a photo and upload it immediately (and why shouldn’t with an unlimited data plan), that’s about it. Apparently this is done this way due to some limitations in the Apple iPhone APIs.

In addition to Flickr, Flickup can also send your photos to Twitterific, which can come in very handy for Twitter addicts…

Interested? If you’re a heavy Flickr user, you should be. The app costs 2 bucks and it’s well worth the money.

Have you been holding off on that iPhone 2.0.2 OS update for your iPhone or iPhone 3G in fear of losing your jailbreak applications? Good news, the iPhone Dev Team has released the latest update to their Pwnage Tool jailbreak solution. With Pwnage Tool 2.0.3, the Dev Team makes it possible to free your iPhone 3G from the iron-fisted rule of Cupertino and make good with all those sweet, sweet third-party applications.

More importantly, the iPhone 2.0.2 OS update for the iPhone 3G bundles a newer baseband firmware (the code that controls your iPhone 3G’s cellular radio) that might kill any future unlocking hopes for the 3G-enabled handset - and the Pwnage Tool 2.0.3 allows you to create a new iPhone 2.0.2 OS restore file that replaces the new baseband firmware with an older version. The Dev Team has made some breakthroughs in their quest to unlock the older baseband firmware, so it makes sense to keep using the older baseband.

PwnageTool 2.0.3 brings with it an updated Installer beta 6 and .de localization for German iPhone fans.

If you already have PwnageTool 2.0.1 or PwnageTool 2.0.2 installed on your Mac, all you have to do is fire up the application and wait for it to ask you if you want to update to a newer version. Failing that, you may manually check for updates through Pwnage Tool’s integrated Sparkle update utility.

You can also find Pwnage Tool 2.0.3 available for direct download here.

AOL has recently announced that its AIM Windows Mobile client is out of beta. The application is perfect for those who rely heavily on AIM for their instant messaging activities.

Not surprisingly, AOL touts the app as the one that provides users with “best-in-class experience.” Features include real-time status updates and contacts management (Buddy List and Buddy Groups); plus it [the application] can be used to send text messages to mobile users in the U.S. — a feature that could potentially bring significant cost savings to some people.

To download AIM for Windows Mobile, hop over to wap.aol.com in your mobile browser, click on “Products”, then “AIM for Windows Mobile!”, and you’re ready to go. Alternatively, you can visit this page on AOL’s website and download the “.cab” file to your computer, and then install it on your Windows Mobile smartphone.

If I were Apple I would seriously consider buying SnaptureLabs. Their Snapture application goes well beyond the default camera app, and now they’ve released the new version to make it even better.

According to the official release, Snapture 2.0 allows users to take photos “using all the major features of a digital camera.” Some of the features included are:

• Four different color modes (new ones are sepia and negative)
• Multitouch gesture zoom
• Delay timer
• New clean user interface
• QuickView system - allows users to view and delete recent pictures directly on the viewfinder

Earlier version, Snapture 1.4 was downloaded for more than 400,000 times and SnaptureLabs hopes to repeat the success. The application is free except if you want to use QuickView, which is available only on Snapture Premium. Apparently, the mentioned functionality cuts the average photo taking session in half, by saving the hassle of having to exit the camera app and enter Camera Roll when you want to see or delete a recent picture. That’s why they charging $7.99 for the Premium version.

Snapture is available in 9 languages and requires a jailbroken iPhone. It is available for download via Installer or Cydia under “Utilities.”

A short, 2-minute long video follows after the jump.

The Wall Street Journal seems to think BlackBerry users are more important than those using other mobile phones. Hence, they’ve recently launched a dedicated mobile app to provide CrackBerry addicts with access to all the news from their network for free. The so called WSJ.com Mobile Reader allows users to read latest headlines, summaries and even full articles from WSJ website and from other sites of the WSJ Digital Network — including MarketWatch, Barrons and AllThingsD.

Best of all, when using WSJ.com Mobile Reader, you won’t be seeing any ads. The monetization part seems still “work in progress,” but somehow I’ve no doubts they [ads] will start appearing in no time. Something’s gotta give, after all…

To try out the WSJ.com Mobile Reader, hop over to this page on The Wall Street Journal’s website and take it from there.
