Not sure, but I think this is the kind of thing you might do in
conjunction with an ownCloud URL.

Yes, I understand.  But we have lots of "mobile" devices these days,
tablets and the like; some running Android, others running iOS and the
odd ones running something else

There are plenty of tablets that have bluetooth keyboards (mobile phones
or phablets can have them too).  Sometimes they also have mice, so it
isn't just touch UI.

The problem space is this, client uses MS Office on their desktops, they
have iPhones and iPads (predominantly), they can use M$ versions of
Office on those devices, but they cannot use LibreOffice versions on any
device in any kind of meaningful way.

Soon we'll have people running Android on devices like the Pixel C from
Google.

Now, if we had full LO to compete with Google Docs (and other tools),
then that might be enough.  Do we sort of have that with ownCloud?  Have
we got it without ownCloud as well?

Yes, I hate auto-corrections in swype like keyboards on mobiles, but
they can work well too.

I understand, but users aren't are not developers and if there was a
"users" list (which I don't know there is), then the same questions
there might not get any kind of suitable response to this problem space.

I would dearly love to be able to exit every single M$ product if that
was possible and I would be happy to encourage everybody that I could
that there are very good and valid alternatives that will work for them
no matter what device they chose to use.  And, as I said, perhaps we
will have that via browser apps; but I'm not so sure where that is at
today either.

Kind Regards
AndrewM

Okay, thanks, is there a different and more appropriate list?

What I want to know most is when I might be able to use LibreOffice
fully on both Android and iOS devices.

Thanks

Road map? mobile devices...

2016-03-31 Thread Andrew McGlashan
Hi,

  --- resend ---

I was wondering if or when LibreOffice would be available for full use
on either or both of Android / iOS.

I know there is a viewer version for Android and I've considered setting
up LibreOffice with ownCloud, but I really would like to be able to
migrate users to full mobile use apps for use on their phones and tablets.

Without full mobile device support, too many people are subscribing to
Office 365 and that is what I want to avoid as soon as possible.

The last thing I want is for users to feel [or have little choice]  that
they have to enter in to the M$ world for mobile usage.

Thanks
AndrewM
