KDE's Calligra Office Suite For Android Released

jrepin writes "Coffice is a new project that tries to make KDE's Calligra office suite available on mobile platforms like Android, Blackberry 10, Jolla SailfishOS and Ubuntu Phone. Calligra already has some presence on smartphones, since document viewer on Nokia N9 is based on it. The first release brings Calligra Words viewer for OpenDocument Text documents and is currently available for Android only. Plans for later releases include viewers for spredsheets and presentations. Editing and saving as well as support for proprietary Microsoft Office formats are coming later."

OpenOffice

Although this sounds interesting, what would be more useful for me would be OpenOffice/LibreOffice on Android.

You do realize that this uses the exact same file format? Since the interface is necessarily going to change between a phone or tablet interface and a desktop program, just pretend this is LibreOffice on Android and you'll be good.

viewers for spredsheets and presentations

But apparently no spellchecker. Not that anyone at Slashdot uses one.

Nice to be off the cloud

Finally a office suite not forcing me to store all mydata on their servers.

Though be warned, it will download some 20mb of qt libraries. On my nexus one, this raises the bar on if i can even have the app by a huge margin

Re:OSX would be nice...

Just install KDE on your MAC and run it native! Sure, you have compile it from source but think of the satisfaction you'll feel every time you fire up your office suite...
