im having a hard time finding a good processing app @[email protected]
What about Google Docs? Does it work in Android browser or Dolphin? It's quite good.
There's going to be QuickOffice Pro HD for Honeycomb coming out soon.

Has anyone tried MS office for web? It runs very good in chorme on desktop, waiting for my wifi xoom to see how it works in honeycomb browser
Search office live in google to find it i cant post outside links yet
I have paid for Documents to Go and Picsel Smart Office. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. I like Picsel because it is the only app so far that displays graphics correctly but track changes are not available until the next big release (they have a good customer support). D2G has the track changes but lacks a lot of correct rendering and PPT support is atrocious. I'm sure in the next 2-3 months we'll have a decent selection to choose from!
Both Office Live and Google Docs are too heavy for the Xoom browsers, which is to be expected, they are not exactly optimized for our screen size and lack of desktop horsepower.
They both run, but are very clunky.
I tried ThinkOffice, no go - FC off the bat.
OfficeSuite Pro trial seems to loose the document as you type, then goes into a "Recover your doc screen" - I couldn't even get a paragraph in with this.
I'm open to suggestions here, I really need a solid Doc/XLS app that won't have issues that hinder it - I don't need full fledge office or anything, but I do need something that will let me View/Edit and finding one that does bullet points would be freakin sweet.
I don't need anything for graphics really, I just really need to read pdf and word docs and be able to edit all of them

Then Documents to Go and Picsel Smart Office should work for you! But only the paid version allows to edit

What do you mean? I use them on my home computer in the same resolution in a browser that scores less in SunSpider than the Xoom stock browser. Is it because of touch? How would it work with keyboard and mouse (or touchpad)? Have anyone tried?
I purchased the Quick Office HD and I have to say I am really impressed so far!
Works great on my Xoom.

Try them, you can tell that the browsers struggles. More the office live than Google docs, but even with google docs there are things that you just have to have a mouse for. Sadly there is not yet an HTML standard for touch input as a replacement for mouse events. Especially with things like Hover, Drag, and Drop.

I think that the office apps that are available in the market are more than adequate for some light editing and productivity on the go. Its not necessary for these apps to have full compatibility with desktop versions imho. Being far too critical really.

Sure, I can also use my phone for typing but what I need a tablet to do is to recognize basic fonts, comments, and paragraph formatting. I don't think we're expecting too much. If I want a text editor that's different but if you claim to have a "professional" office suite and can't even display the symbol font then something's not right. But I'm glad it works for you!
i also ordered quick office HD and I mainly use powerpoint but quick office keeps auto advancing the slides. I don't want to have to keep pressing the pause button every time I manually advance the slides. Does anyone know how to turn off the auto advancing so that I can just manually advance the slides when I want to?
I have Quickoffice Pro HD. Not too impressed with it. I'm a college student so I bought my Xoom for notetaking in my classes (and because I am an Android freak). It works well enough for notes, but not as I would like it to. Formatting is very weird, and the worst part is no auto correct or spell check. If I am going to type fast and efficiently, I can't be going back every five seconds to touch the screen and change a letter. Very frustrating.
I'm hoping the office tech catches up with tablets soon. Don't really understand why I can't just have the same text functionality in my word processing app that I do in my Gmail or text messages.

How do you use the NookColor compared to your smartphone?
I use it more than my phone to surf the net and I've also got some apps that I don't use as often.
Just curious about how you use your fabulous machine!
It's completely replaced my netbook. Browse the web, download torrents, watch Netflix, bang out a document, play a little old school gaming. Nook Color does it all.
It just replaces the gaming part of my Nexus One as Nook Color has a larger screen. Also, I don't want to miss any call because of no battery...
It just replaces the gaming part of my Evo 4g as Nook Color has a larger screen. Also, I don't want to miss any call because of no battery...
It replaces my laptop for all things that don't require a lot of keyboard or mouse work.
So far I still prefer the laptop for web development and Photoshop.

If I have the Nook Color with me, I'll always use it instead of my Galaxy S Vibrant.
However I always have my phone with me. But I don't always have my Nook Color with me. I won't drag a 7 inch tablet to the movies, a doctors appointment, waiting in a line at the bank, etc, so that is when my phone gets used.
I use my Nook for casual gaming, internet browsing, Netflix (now), and eReading mostly. Those are things that I think are not that great on a tiny phone screen.
It suits most of my needs for a tablet and as much as I have this ongoing fantasy of buying a Transformer or some other "real tablet" I am not sure I will just because I don't need it as the above list would be most of what I do anyway.
since I'm a kid and I don't have a phone, I pretty much take it everywhere.
I use my NC to browse the web, listen to some music, gaming, Bible reading, Netflix, and the list goes on and on. I have a netbook and a desktop that ate currently collecting dust!!!

I would almost give up my netbook and laptop. The only problem I have now is that I have my docs stored on Google. I use the Google Docs app but can't share files as attachments.
Other than that, I use it browsing and movies and some gaming. I even use it for reading...

My evo stays in my pocket, now, except for calls. My netbook stays in my bag unless I need to type out something long or a PC exclusive task.
With my nookcolor I browse web, irc chat (andchat), read RSS (Feedly), send IMs (trillian) and SMS (Google voice), stream podcasts via Bluetooth to my car speakers (beyondpod).
I'm tethering right now. My beautiful Evo is now a dumbpipe for my nook. It's bitter and unloved
For me replaced my laptop/netbook I was using. My main tower is now the HTPC.. I use Team Viewer to remote into it for torrents and such. Not a big gamer so I do alot of forum reading, researching and such on it... also stream music from my tower.... trying to figure out video streaming...lol

Can't you use Documents to Go for that? It is what I use and I am able to edit and email my documents as attachments.
I use my nook for just about everything like movies, netflix, reading, surfing, and texting with Google Voice. It is usually at my right hand side while I am hanging out or watching TV. It is also an awesome commuter device. My old Mytouch 3G is really nothing more than a data connection but it had a good life.
My nook color is..........
I love(d) my Original DROID. Best phone ever. But, I always coveted the *phone. Up at 2:55 AM the day it could be ordered from VZW. BIGGEST mistake of my life. I reverted back to my Droid as my PDA. Use that other phone as a phone (except when out and about).
When I read the Nook Color could be rooted, I couldn't get to BN fast enough. Now that I've rooted (SD) my NC, I am in heaven. I prefer to use it instead of my laptop (haven't touched the desktop in years). How nice to play WordFeud and other games on a "big screen", d/l Angry Birds without having to pay a scalpers fee, d/l "classic" novels without having to pay. I do still make a donation to BN every now and then.
ciao for now

Since getting the nook it's carved a niche between my Droid 1 and laptop. I basically use the droid as a phone/camera and as an on the go pda when I only have 3G data. When wifi is available I use the Nook for everything else I used the Droid for: basic www, PDA functions, news, reading, games, etc.
At home it lowers the amount of time I pull out the laptop for trivial www stuff like looking up a movie time, sports score, weather, wiki entry. for work or creating documents, I use the laptop. For serious gaming or music recording, I use a desktop.
I use both the droid and laptop much less frequently overall. The droid in particular since the small screen size is just ulra unsexy after using the nook.
Alright, so I just got my NC finally set up and everything, but the WiFi only is a huge problem for me. I have a Droid 2, and as far as I know, I can't do any tethering with it unless I pay the 3G mobile hotspot fee (if I'm wrong, someone please explain to me). So how do you all utilize Netflix and the web and everything else when you're on the go?
Oh yeah, also, no one has really commented on just HOW portable the NC is. Both my friend and I were able to fit it into our shorts' pockets today. Unbelievable.
Well I read on it of course. Love watching videos on it (netflix,avi). Great for porn. Ohhh one of my favorites, browsing the web from the toilet just what every man dreams of lol.
Just curious, I just got a sprint tab with data. Thought I would use it more, but my epic 4g does every and it more portable. So do you use for work, play, school or something else.

I use it for getting my emails (work mainly), some games, movies i've ripped from my dvds, storage for my photos from my htc touch and my galaxy s.
Sometimes i use it for twitter, facebook, and even browse once in a while .
Oh, XDA forums too
I have a GalaxyS as well, and while i agree that it does everything and is more portable, i still prefer the bigger screen when typing (now that i have the thumb keyboard on the tab, it is so much easier to type with my thumbs now)
all daily tasks, including phone call, sms/mms......
I use mine just like I would use a laptop. I have my desktop setup for remote desktop and I like using it to browsing the web for extended periods of time. I take classes online it's great for watching/listening to live chats (since it has flash). I also watch streaming videos and dvd rips...and now I can watch Netflix and do Skype!). Download torrents on it...use it as a stand alone GPS receiver (use Co-Pilot for offline maps) . Play games on it (as I don't really like playing games on my Evo b/c of the smaller screen... I prefer the 7's)
I rarely use the camera however with this latest Gingerbread update I may start using Skype more. I hope they update the Google Talk to include Video soon, then it might be enough to keep me from getting a larger Honeycomb tablet as soon. I still want the 10.1 version...but for now the 7" Galaxy Tab is perfect for my needs.
Oh...and I use it as wi-fi only (the service was cancelled since I can tether for free from my MyTouch 4G)
I totally replace my old xperia x10 mini with this beauty... i use it most for play ps one and some gameloft games... also as a notebook replacement, as a phone... enjoy music and videos... some chat too.

This tab already replace my laptop and my htc sensation..2 in 1..lol love it!!
do the daily works... emails,sms,phone calls,browsing,game and XDA
I use mine for browsing the internet in the living room, or reading/writing emails. The most used app is actually the IMDB app as I find the initial screen with trailers for up-coming films very useful (and a joy to use!)
I recently got a SGS2, so the tab has been sat round not doing much for a while, but I'm slowly coming back to it.
It's also great for long train or coach journey. It's the size of a portable DVD player, so great for films/TV, and gaming is lovely on it! Especially with the great Gameloft games that came for free when I got it.
I use my tab a lot for reading. I have a lot of books and articles in various formats like pdf, djvu, kindle and the tab is small enough to carry my library everywhere and big enough to comfortably read and browse.
The big screen (compared to a phone) is also a plus for watching videos, gaming and browsing desktop version of websites.
I also use it to listen to internet radio and mp3, record photos and videos and as GPS device. I use my laptop now just for things where I need special software (like Odin ;-)) or a real keybord.
I really love this device and it clearly exceeded my expectations.

The Tab plays movies you can get from torrents just great with no conversions needed. Getting them converted to play on my iPad is a royal pain. So my Tab goes with me on the airplane as my portable movie player. Also works great for email but for browsing the web I prefer the larger screen of the iPad.

Well I have an old plan with Sprint since 2002 which is sinfully cheap and they'll force me to triple my bill if I want any current smartphone (using a Treo Pro) right now.
So I scored a Verizon Tab 7 new on Craigslist for 200 and get my Android fix that way. Actually at the doctors office right now tethered via wifi. Use it for web/email/music/so forth.
Might invest in the $20/1gb plan down the road.
Actually prefer it this way. The 7" screen is big enough yet size is pocketable to carry around.

love my tab for reading all my ebooks and digital comics, streaming slacker and youtube when i'm running around, and the occasional angry birds..
Everything i can do with a phone and a laptop.
But have passed the tab on to my wife now.
I use it in my classroom because much of the internet is blocked, to show video, or pictures, and to show calculator useage lessons.
I use it in Mexico to interview families using an app I wrote. I take a family photo, and get the gps coordinates, record the answers to the interview, then save the data as an .xml file, and export it to our database, where our families are posted to a google earth map for American churches to select and commit to the project of building a free home for these very poor families.

Am thoroughly enjoying my N7, as I imagine, you are yours!
Here's a quandary I'm facing: I am an Amazon Prime member, and enjoy their video selection--both the free and for sale/rental. I mostly use Linux on my PC's. Amazon's streaming video uses Flash, which works fine in Linux, but not on the N7. I've thought about Netflix, but they're not (and probably never will be) Linux-compatible. However, Netflix is very Android/N7 compatible. All that put together, means I can't find a streaming service that works the way I do.
Anyone else in the same boat? What are you trying as a solution?
I was able to get flash working using Firefox and flash (both were side loaded) I found some helpful information searching on xda on how to get that working. Results have been outstanding for my friend who logs into a flash enabled site for realtor work. Haven't tested amazon videos yet but i will. Important: Chrome does not support Flash and the plan is that it never will.
Netflix works great. I sometimes really hate their isn't more selection. I keep it because my Dad uses it.
HBOgo doesn't work yet. I will be watching for a update because i have Directv and will install it as soon as it is available.
I already pulled some DVD's over (Star Wars, Finding Nemo) Handbreak and other software to get that on the nexus 7, looks and sounds fantastic. Everyone at work went crazy when they saw Emire Strikes back running.
I haven't tried or researched true streaming from my pc on my home network yet. I think that would be fantastic since I have a lot of content stored in avi's and other formats.
So far my tablet and my wife's are just amazing. She has the 8 Gig and I have the 16 Gig. We have both had ours since Tuesday.
I still am on the fence about the damn NexusQ. I would really like one but for 299.00 it just seems like I could buy another nexus 7 or something else instead. If that thing supported more than 2 speakers on its own I would have probably have tried to setup the extra speaker set I have in my office with one of those.
We need to get a really good software suggestion for nexus 7 thread going. Freenote, Moon+ reader, Cloud print, Sprinkle free have all been useful or fun to try. Sketchbook mobile works great. I am waiting on a screen protector before I try drawing with my dagi stylus.
I'm in the same boat...I was thinking about trying to load flash somehow...

In regards to Handbrake what format did you choose when converting the video. I'm guessing it was an avi?
Apple tv 2 is what i pick when I use handbreak, I noticed on the tablet while watching the movie that there are a few sounds streams, pick the 2nd one and you should be able to go higher on the volume.
The files are converted to m4v format and if you put them in the movies folder they show up and run right out of the google play list in the personal videos tab.

well instant video on amazon works in firefox with flash loaded. I'm watching the preview on amazon for 21 jump street.
The full DVD in vob files pulled to my desktop computer is what I start with when using handbrake. I am using a decrypt program to pull to my desktop. Using apple tv 2 option in file mode I am getting m4v format as a result. I need to try some avi files and see what I can come up with as a result.

Hi guys, can you provide some feedbacks regarding the reading experience of ebooks or pdfs? How do you value the nexus 7 compared to the kindle touch for example? Is it making your eyes tired after some time?
Thanks in advance

Works well for me, i can read for hours at a time.
I've used an eInk reader for several years now, but realised that I mostly read at night in bed. eInk is OK with a small booklight, though keeping a supply of batteries charged was a pain. But reading in low-light with the Nexus is a lot better. The display is crisper (most eInk displays are still 166dpi compared to the Nexus' 213), the contrast is better, and I'm finding it easier to read. If you're looking for something to take to the beach or read outdoors in sunlight then eInk will probably be a better choice, but for me the Nexus is superior.
If you're reading ePubs get Mantano, the rest are all trash.
I really like it so far, it's great to switch to at night. During the day I use my Nook Touch and in the evening I switch to the N7, it's perfect.
Take away the screen flicker and it's better than the Nook. That being said it's easier to be distracted, for example look up a word, check a sports score... forget about book.

I have your issue, it really is great to read on. But then watching video, playing games...there all great too
It's to personal preference and usability. If you read during the day or outside, I prefer the e-ink readers. But since I read mostly at night, I use the Nexus set at lowest brightness.
The Kindle app on all other Androids is not the same as the Kindle app on the Kindle Fire. So if you are heavily invested in Kindle books I'd suggest waiting to see what Amazon has coming out in the next few months.
It's mainly the wide margins that get me:

I bough my Nexus 7 for the main goal of reading books, tech books and news. It is awesome for pdfs I use ezpdf with crop/push to column feature for epubs I use moon+ reader and during the night I found this awesome app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.omegacentauri.ScreenDim.Full&hl=en that dims the screen even more!
I've been using the Amazon Kindle app to read .mobi files and it works great. The Amazon app is actually pretty good. But I know that's a little dated and epub is what's up.
It would be great to be able to import already owned books into the Google Books app, but I don't think that's currently possible.
how do you import mobie files so that they will appear in the kindle app?

Just copy them into the Kindle folder and they show up in the app.
Using the stock PDF reader, text and images are blurry if they are off the center of the screen.
Can someone recommend a good 3rd party reader? One that can add bookmarks as well.
75% of my Nexus 7 use is as an eBook and I love it. I use the Kindle App and set the tone to Sepia which, to me, makes reading for hours very easy.

a great app for the N7 thanks #9 for that!
I still prefer reading on my eINK device, a Kobo Touch. It is lighter and there are more fonts. I can make more adjustments (e.g. line spacing, margins, font tuning). I tend to read on it during the day, and then read on the N7 at night so I don't disturb my spouse. This is only doable, IMO, for books that sync between the app on the N7 and the eINKL device. No syncing is a no-go for me.
I read tons on mine. Highly reccomended.

moon + for the win. there was a small problem tha ti told them about in landscape mode,, and they fixed it already.
Kindle, Adobe Reader, built-in document viewer... all work pretty well, and I personally have never had any significant problems with reading from a screen. I'm still hedging my bets for Amazon to go the "get a free digital copy if you buy a physical book" way, since I rather like my bookshelves...
