Hi Tom, all

Hmm, even if MSO have got there first and LibreOffice follows i think
that's not hugely different from the desktop.

If you lead you have an advantage. People are resistant to change (e.g.
Windows > Linux; MSO > LO) even if the alternative is free... Kingsoft
Office is gaining momentum as an alternative simply because it is the first
free cross-platform suite both on Android AND Windows (yes, the two most
used OSes).

AndrOffice is still awful. They think that converting to Android is just to
port the code... Desktop sized buttons cannot be selected with a finger...

People at TDF realized that and that is why there is no Android version even
if it is technically possible. It would take quite a lot of manpower to
build a different GUI.

Returning to MSO Mobile, it's only available for iPad and Android
smartphones, but not for Android tablets... Maybe they will try to sell
that? Or maybe they don't want Android to compete with Windows 8 Tablets
since there are already more Android devices in the world than Windows
PCs...
