[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1527226, member: 24160"] "Assumed" is the key here. OO.org at this point in time has made it pretty clear they have no interest in porting OO to any of the tablet OSs. At around 200 million tablets in use at this time, and growing by over 100 million a year now, not sure what it's going to take for them to get their noses out of the air. The iPad does not run OS X. It runs iOS. You cannot install any OS X app on an iPad, iPhone, iPod the same as you cannot install a Windows app in OS X (unless you're running Crossover, Parallels, etc.). Nor can you install any Windows app on an Android tablet. The iWork suite for the iPad cannot open odf file types. It can open MS Office files. While I use OO or Libre at home (and have for many years), have never saved any documents in their odf formats since it's really only slightly more popular than... uhm... Linux. As far as I am aware, all of the apps that work with odf files are web based and convert them for download to iDevices. Not used any of them myself - but we should have someone here that could recommend one. [/QUOTE]
