Mobile Office Apps Overview - General Topics

Hi XDAers,
I was looking for good thread giving an overview of mobile office apps and couldn't seem to find one, so I wrote one hoping to help any other fellow noobs so they don't need to do the research.
Please note that all these apps are FREE apps or the free versions (or trials) of paid apps.

The Good: Lets you view and edit DOC, XLS and PPT files as well as view PDF files. Has Dropbox and GoogleDocs support. Also has a file manager.
The Bad: Editing feature is terrible, no auto-rotate, doesn’t recognise the arrow keys on keyboard (using standard DHD keyboard), keyboard can overlay on top of text currently being typed when in landscape mode, spellcheck does not work properly as well as a couple of other wee bugs.

If anyone's got these apps please give us a review below on any pros and even more importantly cons of the apps. Can you also state if the version is free or paid just so people know the capabilities of the version.
Any omissions and corrections to would be appreciated!

I use DocumentsToGo. It is the most app for Office.

Quickoffice HD for Gtablet?

I'm looking into getting Quickoffice for my Gtab so I can be more "productive" at work.
Quickoffice HD is now out..but it's made for honeycomb tablets. If you try to buy it, it asks you to enter your device and currently only lists the Xoom.
Anyone have any luck getting Quickoffice HD on their Gtab?
Also, if anyone cares, Coupon Code for 30% off: hd30
QuickOffice 1.01 - Tablet is available in the apps and themes section in the Adam apps for gablet thread. I use it and it works great. Not sure but the icon has an "HD" on it.

The website says for Android 3.0 Honeycomb devices only. The 4.0.120 pro version works just fine on the Gtab.

I've purchased QuickOffice Pro and it works fine for me on my gTab. I use it a couple of times a week when away from the office.
Why do you feel like you have to get the "HD" version?

QuickOffice HD was developed specifically for tablets. I have never used it, nor the "Pro" version for phones so I can't comment on the specific differences.
The "Key" features of QuickOffice HD are as follows:
✔ Clipboard access (cut/copy/paste in app and between apps)
✔ Undo / redo most user actions
✔ Insert and resize images from gallery or camera in Word and PowerPoint files
✔ Text-to-speech document recital and voice input dictation
✔ Thumbnail preview scrolling for multi-page documents
✔ Improved toolbar and performance enhancements
✔ Paragraph alignment in documents
✔ Edit speaker notes in presentations
✔ Share files from via e-mail
✔ Support for advanced formulas and charts in Excel files
✔ Edit in page layout mode and thumbnail page navigation in documents
✔ Add, delete, and rename worksheets in Excel files
✔ Apply formulas to multiple cells by tapping and dragging
✔ Move & resize text boxes, images, and shapes

As far as I can tell by reading the list of features on their official website they have the same features. Except the HD version's description states that it was "developed for tablets".
Until someone can tell me why the HD version is a "must have" I'll stick with my Pro version for now.

The advantages if any do not matter as yet since it will only work with Honeycomb.
And then there's this...
Here's a tablet version of QuickOffice (not only for Honeycomb). Gojimi got this off of a Notion Ink tablet.

Here's the thread where he has screenshots.

[Q] App to highlight powerpoints?

I use ez pdf to highlight notes that are .doc and pdf, but are there any apps to highlight and take notes on powerpoint files? A lot of my professors use powerpoints as notes and I can't seem to find a good app to do this..anything similar to ez pdf that will work with powerpoint files? (such as highlight lines and very little actual handwritten input)
You can convert ppt to pdf using a program such as microsoft office. I do this every week because my prof posts ppt on her website and I use my transformer in class.

Two Page View for PDF and djvu files?

Can anybody recommend decent viewers which offer "Two Page View" for PDF and/or djvu files? Thanks.
1. EbookDroid sorta gives this option for both file formats.
EzPDF Reader has that option for pdfs, and it also allows you to write and take notes on the pdf with your s-pen.
