Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: MSO for iPad, big deal or big yawn

The linked "notice" for MSO on Android seems to indicate it is not for 
Tablets, but only for Phones.

That is a big difference.

So we still do not have to worry.  Also, I wonder if that is actually 
more of a Cloud Version instead of one that resides on a phone.  For me, 
I do not link the idea of Cloud apps for "Writer" types of packages.  I 
like offline ones better since I tend to need such things on a 
tablet/laptop without any access to a WiFi signal.

I do not have an Android Phone powerful enough for an office suite or 
with a large enough screen.  My Android table is a Nook HD with 16GB 
internal and 32GB on a microSD card.  So I am waiting for LO's Android 
version for that Android based Nook.

Seriously, if MSO is offering Office 365 for free, I bet it is a limited 
time offer where you will get hooked on using it then will be required 
to pay "through the nose" after a few months of use. MS does not have 
the policy to give away its Office packages for free.  So this seems 
more like a trial and not a real free deal for long term use.
