Sorry guys, been away a few days. Look, reading docs on a mobile device can be useful. Emailing is great too. But editing docs on a mobile device is just not a productive use of your time. Read a report, go through your mail, organise your thoughts... or make a phone call. That's all fine on a smartphone. But leave the editing until you are back at a laptop. If you want to be productive you need to learn to make the most of a situation and the tool set at hand.

I love people that insult others but cannot spell shows how intelligent they really are. I guess you need the spell checker from word before you can post on blog. LOL

Well, to have something like this, just for checking (reading) your documents is fine. But I don't believe you will need this to do editing, it is totally counter productive.

I agree with Oiger, Editing documents on a SmartPhone takes too much TIME! I like Microsoft Office a lot, so don't give me that shit. I'm just saying, if you're creating, editing, ect. on your mobile phone, it takes A LOT LONGER!

Oh dear, how did I ever manage to live without this? I could edit office docs on my windows smartphone and can only say whoever DOES edit documents on a mobile device has too much time on his hands.
