There is a version of OpenOffice for Android now available. That will
certainly meet your requirements for working with ODF on a tablet,
AndroOffice is suitable only for editing _small_ documents.
The major issues are:
* Navigation. Navigator does not work;
* Size constraints: If the document is larger than about 2 MB in size, the document will not be
opened;
* Spell-checking: Custom dictionaries can not be installed on stock tablets. (IOW, you have to
root the device, in order to add dictionaries.)
* Extensions. Allegedly, they can be installed, but I've been extremely unsuccessful in doing so;
* Templates: Allegedly, you can install your own, but I've been unsuccessful in doing so;
* Database: Forget it. Install SQLiteManager, and learn SQL;
All that said, I constructed a couple of spreadsheets to replace apps that I installed. A
side-effect is that the spreadsheets can accept more types of data, and spit out more types of
data, than the apps do.
Two major issues with tablets as desktop/laptop replacements, is that they are neither
multi-tasking, nor multi-user. (Prior to getting my tablet, the last non-multi-user,
non-multi-tasking platform was when I had an Apple //e.)
(Whilst I can install *Nix on the tablet, that requires rooting the system, and replacing the
kernel. Something I'm not comfortable doing.)
