I agree, the UI is the cleanest I have seen for an Android office suite. I haven't worked with it a whole lot, but so far, it's very nice. And for 99 cents, it's a steal.
[General Questions and Answers] Meredith1:
	Scrutinize Before Black Friday Shopping Comes

Prior to black Friday shopping, it is essential for shoppers to do their part in scrutinizing for certain products so that they can have the best buy.

	Inquire on Some Advertisement

Most of the information on black Friday shopping is provided on some websites.

	Check for Your Item’s Prices

Shoppers can check on some advertisements to help them in assimilating the prices of the products.

	Prepare For an Early Shopping Discount

There will be some stores that will present a special day for early shoppers that compromise a deal from 5 up to 11 in the morning. It is important to plan and prepare for your shopping since there will be no more stocks of a particular product once the store has already run out of it.

	Browse on Some Online Stores

Most of the retailers are already placing their products online prior to black Friday shopping. Eg. Amazon.com, ebay.com, PickRice.com

	Understand the Store’s Administration

Several retailers have taken into considerations the shorter return due date and stocking fees. The shoppers should concede on the store’s regulation since this will aid them in deciding of where they could acquire the best buy.
[About XDA developers] dundroid:
Thanks for the hard working xda team and members, but this question keeps nagging me:

What's the point of xda?

1000s of development hours which translates into what?

What is the return on investment?

Is it all for the pleasure of tinkering?

Is it to install malware into non-suspecting noobs?

Or is it for receiving donations?

What protects your intellectual properties?

I just don't understand!

Whatever your reasons are, just keep bringing thr good stuff

[About XDA developers] zelendel:
XDA is not here to make dollars. The reason we are here is not to make money. If you come here thinking that is the case you are the wrong spot
[About XDA developers] Entropy512:
We do it for the fun of hacking the devices we own. It is just easier to share our work with other developers, and the users get to benefit and (potentially) learn to start working on things themselves.

The reason donate links are there is because it is nice to have some of your costs defrayed in the case of developers who purchase devices frequently or purchase tools to enhance their work (such as me purchasing a bunch of NFC gear to test NFC functions with.)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] goodintentions:
It's as close to microsoft office as I've seen on android. Holy cow, even ctrl+a, ctrl+c, and ctrl+v work. You can even control the page layouts, fonts, color, etc. I mean, everything is there.

And it's only 99 cents!

I don't understand why it's not mentioned more. The developers obviously put a lot of thought into this very useful app.

Note: I own quickoffice HD, doc2go, thinkfree, and office suit pro 5, in addition to kingsoft. The point is I know what I'm talking about.

Interesting..considering its more known for its Chinese translate programs..and its kingsoft office suit for the Chinese pc market..

Will check it out..

Permissions are a bit of a worry thru..

Edit: brought it and it does give you the options to opt in or out for sending usage data back..

I compared it to a few other's and don't feel threatened by it..

Still this would where it would be nice to have a firewall in place..

any thoughts on that? - know of any for android?

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ebsebs:
goodintentions,

I noticed some reviews in the Android Market that say that the spreadsheet doesn't do formulas.

If this is correct, that's a

big

omission.

Could you please try a couple of formulas to see if this is true?

Thanks,

Eric
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] goodintentions:
Will do.

Before I do this, just so you know that there is no 1 perfect office app for android yet. What I do is I use a combo of apps for my needs. For example, thinkfree has the best excel spreadsheet out there. Don't even try to argue with me. It is the only one that displays everything in an excel spreadsheet, even those bubble comments you put in as well as arrows and stuff and photos. Check it out.

Thinkfree's word sucks, though. It doesn't even have wordwrap. Your words will be cut off right in the middle of the word so that half the word is on one line and the other in the next line.

Kingsoft's word seems to be the best.

Office suite pro 5's powerpoint seems to be the best. I'm still testing them out.

Added by edit.

Just tested. While it will display the formula results correctly if you just open up a file pre-edited. But it will not allow you to add a formula. So, for example if you create an xls sheet on your pc with "=5+2" in one of the cells and then save it and transfer to your TF, kingsoft will show "7" in that cell. But if you use your TF to put in "=5+2" kingsoft will show it as "=5+2" in that cell. If you try to open up the cell that had "=5+2" from the pc, it will say "unsupported data type".

Again, I use a combo of apps for my needs. Thinkfree has the most complete xls support. Kingsoft has the most complete doc support. And office suite pro 5 has the most complete ppt support, although I sometimes also use do2go for ppt.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Spidey01:
control+a, control+c, and control+v are supposed to work in just about every text area that isn't Really Frakking Weirdo.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ebsebs:
Thanks for the fast reply!

Kingsoft may not be the bext XLS choice, but it's Word module sounds excellent, and since the price is certainly right, I'll get it. Thinkfree XLS support does look impressive, though. Between Kingsoft, Polaris, and QuickOfffice Pro HD, I'll make do.

Thanks for your help.

Eric
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] goodintentions:
Just a warning for you. There is a bug in Polaris that randomly kills your document. Since it strikes at random, its not very well documented. Furthermore, for some damn reason, the document you created, worked on, and saved will sometimes only show up half way if you're trying to print. Again, this strikes at random, so no doubt most people have not experienced this. I'd stay away from Polaris just to be safe.

PS Ruined one of my presentations.

There's a bug in the market app that force closes when you're trying to install certain apps. There's a way around this. Go to market.android.com and install from there.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] asdfuogh:
Regarding that bug about Polaris, I think it also corrupts file formats.. I wrote a document on docs2go, it was fine for the three days I used it, but I decided to open it with Polaris so I could check how many pages it turned out to be. Lo and behold, all I did was save the file before turning off Polaris, boom, next time I attempted to open it, "unsupported file format."

Anyway, at least I learned to save my files in Google Docs now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] goodintentions:
That's what I mean by killing your file. Now, I'm pretty good at recovering corrupted files. But polaris does something that makes the file unrecoverable.

Stay away from it like the plague.

Have you tried thinkfree?

Look, android devs have only had half a year to work on an office app for android tablets. Microsoft has ha like 20 years to perfect their office.

You need to use a combo of office apps for your needs.

For example, I use thinkfree office for excel because it's the most complete. Check out the attached screenshots of thinkfree showing a microsoft excel file.

I use kingsoft for word processing because it's got the most friendly interface.

For powerpoint, I go back and forth between them all.

Kingsoft is free now

I know that this thread is a bit old but now the full app is free which is cool
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ebioman:
I had as well a look into it. I am due to business reasons mainly interested into power point presentations. Even though I keep them very simple in general (no animations and fancy stuff) the software was still able to mess it up completely. I used ppt files and the format was horrible, especially arrows and bullets of lists, but as well pictures.

I didn't bother to try editing if presentation already fails....
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] kristy1234:
i have installed this app, it's really free, good.

Downloaded from the Market and tried it and it works really great for docs. I havent made a spreadsheet on it because i dont use that much and when i do there not that complicated. But it's free and looks awesome. For me it works better then Polaris.

polaris is the best
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Korumera:
You do know about the bug in polaris right? That randomly corrupts your file and you wont be able to rescue it. So no it's not the best ;) andi dont say kingsoft is the best but for me it works fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] goodintentions:
[WARNING] Polaris Office Bug

There is a major bug with polaris office. The bug strikes at random. Basically speaking, you could be typing your lap report or business paper or english paper and all of the sudden BOOM the file is corrupted beyond repair and all your work is lost. There have been many reports, but notably several of them were of substantial loss, like someone's 30 page lab report. I've used every trick in the book to attempt to recover one of these corrupted files, and I assure you these files are truly unrecoverable. Polaris has replaced the content with jibberish data.

The kicker is this. The bug strikes may be 1 out of 100 times you use the polaris, so chances are you will not encounter this bug until later when you actually have something important.

So, please, stay away from polaris like the plague. Custom rom makers have taken polaris out of their custom roms because of this issue.

Here are a list of good office apps from market for you to get.

-Kingsoft (free but works wonderfully well)

-Thinkfree (paid - best for excel, the only office app that wil show pictures, graphs, everything in excel)

-Android Office (paid - the only one in the market with a spell checker)

-Doc2Go (paid)

-Office Suite Pro 5 (paid)

-Quickoffice

I'll add more later. These are just some off the top of my head.

Just remember, the next time 1 out of 100 times the polaris bug strike could be your 50 page love letter to your girl friend or your 80 page letter to your psychologist about your personal problems.

I guess the app has been updated.

I've had it for a couple of days now and I've built a couple of small spreadsheets. I've used several simple formulas and quite a few it/then statements and vlookups and it's worked fine. The only problem I've had is that I've gotten lazy using excel and have been using the formula wizard too much. I've forgotten how to key in most formulas without it.

I haven't tried the write or presentation portions yet.

It was from Samsung Italy if I remember right. But I would say mid-end January maximum.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kromosto:
imo note is designed for ics. samsung was aiming to release it with ics in early 2012 but too much interest from the market made them release earlier. but google (and maybe samsung) wants nexus chrome to be the first ics phone on the market so they cant release it with ics. so i think gingerbread roms for note are just for waste time until the google and samsung decides nexus did fine. and as i believe samsung aimed ics for the note i think they are not spending much time on gingerbread roms for note. so when ics is realeased i am expecting everything to be improved.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] foxmeister:
Whilst ICS will undoubtedly bring all sorts of improvements to the Note, until such time that a decent ecosystem of Honeycomb/ICS apps is built up (and remember, there aren't a great deal of Honeycomb specific tablet apps either), the vast majority of apps are still targeting 2.x iterations (Gingerbread, Froyo etc) of Android, which means that 2.x apps are likely to be de rigueur for some time yet.

I'm as keen as the next guy to get ICS onto my Android devices (Note, GTab, Transformer etc), but without application support it really doesn't matter too much.

Enjoy the Note for what it is today, not what it may be tomorrow! :)

Dave

I am interested in knowing how the hardware (including touch) buttons will fit into the ICS UI. AFAIK, ICS has Back-Home-Recent-etc buttons on the 'always visible' taskbar within the screen. So unless there is a modified interface for phones there will be some redundancy.

Anyone knows how this will be handled?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bcroc:
As far as I know (at least that's what I saw on Desire Android Development for ICS ROMs) that 'always visible' bar can be "disabled", at least the keys on it. Some more experienced user may correct me tho :)

Samsung never announces release dates in advance. We didn't get a real advance release date for S2, we won't have it for this device.

We don't know what to expect... Right now all leaks have Superbrick kernels, I suspect that's one of the things slowing down ICS for every device but the S2. Samsung tried to add some performance tweaks and FAILED MISERABLY and they're trying to figure out what the **** they broke now.

Nope - they're an utter waste of screen space on devices with hardware keys.
