Readdle native iPhone app
Readdle on Tuesday announced plans to unveil an iPhone 2.0 application of its as-of-now web service, allowing users to read documents on their iPod touch or iPhone when offline. The company also claims the native application will enhance the service's functionality, citing seamless storage, page-by-page reading, bookmarks, and optimized PDF rendering, among other options. Readdle has not announced whether it will charge for the application when the iPhone application store launches.
"Due the iPhone file systems access restrictions, there is no possibility to copy files directly to the iPhone," says Igor Zhadanov, CEO of Readdle. "That's why seamless document management is the crucial part of the document reading application. Readdle is unique for providing the number of handy ways to put files on the device."
The application interfaces with Mail on the iPhone to read documents, while it will also help with forwarding emails with attachments as well.
