Re: AOO on Nexus 7 and the Kim Komando Show

2013-10-22 Thread Ian Lynch
One consideration is power consumption, cost is another, multi-vendor is
another. We can also learn from history that volumes determine markets and
the Android/Arm combo is sweeping the planet. It's not in our power to stop
that any more than is would be to ignore Windows on desktops. If Intel
can't stop it I doubt we have any chance of doing so. If AOO/odf editing
wants to get out there as far as possible it needs to go to any large
volume platform and Android/ARM already looks set to be the biggest. Looks
like its easier for ARM to scale up and keep costs and power consumption
down than it is for x86 to scale down without melting your device or a hole
in your pocket ;-).

 I think it's worth educationg consumers that tablet form factor does not
 necessarily mean Android OS on a ARM CPU.

 I'm using a MSI Windpad 110W with 10 screen and AMD Fusion CPU/GPU (APU).
 I can run any darn x86 OS I want on it, Win7, Ubuntu Linux, Fedora Linux,
 FreeBSD.

 There are many other x86 tablets with CPUs from AMD and Intel.
 Why people continue restricting themselves to ARM/Android devices (besides
 50%+ lower cost) when they could have the power of a full laptop on a
 tablet form factor is beyond me...

The 800-lbs gorilla is Google and their QuickOffice purchase, which
they are now making available for free on iOS and Android:

I don't think it supports ODF, but otherwise is a strong editor suite.
 So it does make it hard for any new competitor, since they would
essentially be competing against a free, fully-featured app.

wow, all good stuff guys.

Turns out the website (show) already lists an ODF mobile reader:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/openoffice-document-reader/at.tomtasche.reader

Also, the request from the caller was not about reading ODF files, rather
creating files using voice-to-text and was looking for someting other then
Dragon Speak pro (IIRC) on his desktop old XP machine) for use by his
special needs child.
So before I, or anyone, writes something on this maybe if the collective
intelligence on this list could shot some ideas off on the requirement -
honestly I would not know what to say.

There's a *large* market for a usable Android ODF editor. Usable for a mobile

  successful
  radio talk show dealing with digital consumer products.
 
  This last weekend's show included a call in about speech recognition
 and
  OpenOffice, and the Nexus 7.
 
  The host explained that they would be putting up a quick tutorial on
  their
  website, www.komando.com/ , showing hot to hook this up on the Nexus
 7.
 
  So - does AOO actually run on a Nexus 7, I really don't know and if
 their
  is any known problems does anyone happen to have a contact with the
 show
  so
  that we could help them put this together.
 
  There is a version at
  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andropenoffice
 
  I installed this on my Nexus 7 some weeks ago; as far as I have  tried,
 it
  works. But as my interest is writing I prefer to write/edit on a real
  laptop/desktop, so haven't progressed very far with this version.

I think it's worth educationg consumers that tablet form factor does not
necessarily mean Android OS on a ARM CPU.

I'm using a MSI Windpad 110W with 10 screen and AMD Fusion CPU/GPU (APU).
I can run any darn x86 OS I want on it, Win7, Ubuntu Linux, Fedora Linux,
FreeBSD.

There are many other x86 tablets with CPUs from AMD and Intel.
Why people continue restricting themselves to ARM/Android devices (besides
50%+ lower cost) when they could have the power of a full laptop on a
tablet form factor is beyond me...
