The linked "notice" for MSO on Android seems to indicate it is not for
Tablets, but only for Phones.
That is a big difference.
So we still do not have to worry. Also, I wonder if that is actually
more of a Cloud Version instead of one that resides on a phone. For me,
I do not link the idea of Cloud apps for "Writer" types of packages. I
like offline ones better since I tend to need such things on a
tablet/laptop without any access to a WiFi signal.
I do not have an Android Phone powerful enough for an office suite or
with a large enough screen. My Android table is a Nook HD with 16GB
internal and 32GB on a microSD card. So I am waiting for LO's Android
version for that Android based Nook.
Seriously, if MSO is offering Office 365 for free, I bet it is a limited
time offer where you will get hooked on using it then will be required
to pay "through the nose" after a few months of use. MS does not have
the policy to give away its Office packages for free. So this seems
more like a trial and not a real free deal for long term use.

Hmm, even if MSO have got there first and LibreOffice follows i think
that's not hugely different from the desktop.
I'm not convinced that MSO is available for Android. I've seen
announcements that it is available for iPads but iPads are different
from Androids.

Seriously, Pedro? Actually, TDF and the LibreOffice Devs, notably Tor
Lillqvist, have been hard after an Android build.
Not sure of its fitness for use, but daily builds of Master for Android
are here:
TinderBox 24 -- Android-ARM
<http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/Android-ARM@24-Bytemark-Hosting/>
Seriously. I'm well aware of that. That is why I mentioned "manpower". I
didn't say no one.
The Android build simply doesn't do anything (at least the last time I tried
about a month ago...)
Unless there were some fantastic progresses I doubt that it's up to par with
Kingsoft (haven't tried MSO yet)
