App of the Week:

Documents To Go Go

While working on anything from an AP History essay to a Masters' thesis, Documents To Go allows you to bring your .doc or .docx files along for the ride, storing them on your iPhone or iPod touch in full formatted glory. At $5 for the Microsoft Word version, Docs To Go is inexpensive, allowing you to do real work instead of settling for a watered down "text only" version.  Format, cut and paste, and find and replace to your heart's content. Now you can feel free to jab out that research paper late into the night, and worry about getting the style right on the bus. APA formatting never looked so good.Source: http://www.pcworld.com/article/169521/ten_essential_backtoschool_iphone_apps.html
