Kingsoft Office - Android app

I was looking for free office suite like Open Office for my Android phone and came across Kingsoft Office. I have effortlessly opened MS Excel and Word documents using this app, and on opening , it gives you thumbnails of your recently opened documents which is handy if you are using the same documents frequently.

It also works great with the Cloud Print app, which means you can open, edit and print out your documents on your phone or Android tablet, narrowing once again the gap between the PC, the laptop and the tablet. Already we have seen the laptop begin the take the place of the PC in the home - with apps that can replicate the Windows or Mac environment, you can see tablets trumping laptops in the not-so-distant future.

Kingsoft have done a really great job with their powerful app, they have made it compact so it should work OK on a smaller screen, with menus popping up and sliding across the screen to save space - on a tablet, this is going to work just as well as Open Office and even the outrageously priced Microsoft equivalent...
