And they're off. With the iPhone software developer's kit coming out tomorrow, top developers are lining up to write native applications for the device. Yesterday, I speculated about apps I'd like to see and found that office software r DataViz raring to put out software for the iPhone.

Today I heard from QuickOffice, another maker of Microsoft Office compatible software for handhelds. QuickOffice is strong on the Symbian platform, where DataViz' strengths are on Windows Mobile and Palm. Here's what QuickOffice VP Paul Moreton had to say in an email:

"Quickoffice is excited about the potential enterprise focus of the iPhone SDK. We're excited to bring our Office suite, already under development, to iPhone users. We look forward to selling our award-winning application through Apple's approved distribution process."
