Re: [libreoffice-users] AOO for Android - not worth the download

Maybe that port of Apache's AOO package should state very clearly that 
it is not an official port from Apache, but a third party port.

Also using the "standard" abbreviation of "AOO" can be an issue. Maybe 
"AnOO" would work.

Still, the issues I had with the package has stopped me from using it.  
As I stated originally, after 5 minutes, or so, I still was not able to 
do any typing, or anything else on the tablet.  How long does a person 
need to wait after the "loading splash screen" to get to use the app?

I have a NOOK HD+
1.5 GHz OMAP4470 dual core processor
16 GB internal storage [1/5 used]
32 GB microSD card.
[I do not know what the actual RAM number is.]

So this tablet is not a low end one, according to the device specs.  
Taking 5 minutes, or more, to load is a real big issue for me.
