    How to use OpenOffice on iPad

    The iPad does not replace a computer. The Apple system is too closed and applications are office suites that stores more productive tools. Therefore, in view of replacing a computer, the answer is a resounding no. Do not go imagine that your iPad can adequately replace your work PC. With appropriate applications, the iPad becomes a faithful companion of work which you'll never want to leave. With it, you can replace all your notes papers by electronic notes that are automatically classified by subject and synchronized without any effort on all your platforms. Using a USB stick suddenly becomes a thing of the past.

    The fact is there is no OpenOffice app for ipad and you will not be able to use its service directly on ipad. But now there is a app which will allow you to use the all the service of OpenOffice.

    RollApp unveiled a new service that makes available the functionality of OpenOffice on iPad. The service is currently in beta, is free and provides access for the time being limited.

    OpenOffice tools are made available as a web application accessible via the browser on your device: in this way on the iPad does not need to install third party software, a factor of no little importance given the situation. RollApp specializes in solutions similar and base business on making available software developed for specific platforms through a web service.

    For developers there is the obvious advantage of not having to create specific applications for each platform but the real success of the decree would need access to the beta testing, and upon our request has not yet been accepted. Additionally, the use of a similar service provides for the need for access to the internet quality, an option not always available.

    RollApp service its business model on the revenue sharing revenue from advertisements placed on their pages, including applications of course. For iPad users who decide to try OpenOffice is another interesting piece of news, in fact, the web application provides integration with leading storage services in the cloud. For example, you will use the resources available to your Dropbox account also by OpenOffice.org in the cloud, or access to documents created and managed from Google Docs.


    Other than this there is an alternative apps which has been very famous for portable platform. That is Quickoffice Pro HD 4.0 for iPad. Now using this you can view and edit Office 2010 files. This latest version allows you to read and edit Microsoft Word and Excel Office 2010 and see (but not edit) PowerPoint 2010 presentations and PDFs. Quickoffice can open any files attached to e-mail and import the ones stored on your Mac by means of iTunes Sharing. In addition, the app supports several cloud storage services like Dropbox, Google Docs, SugarSync, and also Evernote. You can also share files via e-mail or through popular social networks. Quickoffice Pro HD 4.0 supports AirPrint, that allows you to print directly from an IOS device to a compatible printer, and you can buy on the App Store

    iWork app is very beautiful in its interface and of course, perfectly appropriate for the iPad. But 3 separate apps and thus possibly switching, limited browser capabilities file, cloud processing is limited (not dropbox). So in that case i tend to Quickoffice HD, but doubt. Keynote can sometimes be important and that I must still be purchased. This is the one I should consider and then the price difference is zero (4 Euros). Exchange within text and spreadsheet, rarely, so I will not miss. Both do not work with ODF files (I would really appreciate it).
