FileTypesTest  
Updated Jan 22, 2008 by celeb...@gmail.com

The results of some tests to see what formats (.doc, .xls, etc) the iPhone/iPod Touch can support out of the box.

Introduction

XianLi (from the Hackint0sh.org forums) told me the location of a MS Office filetype framework file.

System/Library/Frameworks/OfficeImport.framework

I sifted through the folder contents & opened OfficeImport executable in TextMate and found this:

  • doc
  • docx
  • xls
  • xlsx
  • ppt
  • pptx
  • com.microsoft.word.doc
  • org.openxmlformats.wordprocessingml.document
  • com.microsoft.excel.xls
  • org.openxmlformats.spreadsheetml.sheet
  • com.microsoft.powerpoint.ppt

Finding that info inspired me to do this test. I did a bunch of tests to see which formats MobileOSX (the version of Mac OS X used on the iPhone & iPod Touch) can support. I tested the Mail App, Safari, Google M (in Safari), MSN Mail Mobile (in Safari) & Yahoo M (also in Safari). I tried opening/ viewing 6 filetypes in these locations (.doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt & .pptx)

Results

I've edited out my name in the following pictures for safety reason/ precaution

  • Mail Test #1: Trying to view the 6 file formats with mail

The .doc & .xls files show up fine in Mail but, the .ppt shows up weird

When clicking on the "This is a text.doc" link, it displays the test document. But, it is not full size

When opening Workbook1.xls, it opens it, & will display how many "Sheets" you have in the workbook. With this though, it only displays the one cell that has text/information in it

When trying to open the Presentation1.ppt link, nothing happens

Trying out the Office 2007 Formats

For this trial, the .docx & .xlsx show up fine but, nothing shows up for .pptx

As with the .doc format, the .docx sample document opens up fine but, this time showing up at the normal size

With the .xlsx file, the multiple sheets show up again & the words conform to the width of the cells, no the cells to the width/ length of whats in them

continued here

I will continue uploading my results once the pictures finish uploading
