After Apple began offering its office suite for free with all new iOS devices, Google's decision makes sense. However I now have both Google Drive and Quickoffice on my Android smart phone and tablet. These two products overlap a bit too much. They really ought to be a single app.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Quickoffice used to allow signing in from multiple services? I remember using an older version of Quickoffice that allowed logging in with Dropbox, SkyDrive, etc. while this new version appear to only work with Google accounts.
Obviously Google would remove that feature as they now own Quickoffice, I would have been FAR more surprised if they kept it in.
After reading about the Quickoffice acquisition I was waiting for this moment. Google Drive has more features in the web than as a native application on iOS and Android. Edit: it's me or Quickoffice is complete crap? I tried opening a document in Google Docs and it opens as PDF! then I created a new document and it doesn't have headings, just like the Google Drive application.
It's working fine for me, .doc/.docx extensions open in QuickWord as expected.
in the eighties the allmighty IBM get crushed by the rookie microsoft because it didnt see the new software wave comming.. and from this new market its arch-enemy was born
now microsoft is falling into pieces, because microsoft in the nineties, didnt see the internet revolution comming (or was afraid to ask), and its killer born from it.
google its not only taking what once was a market dominated by microsoft, but are dominating also in the internet arena.. and if you guys see well .. they have created a "internet as a platform", buying and acquiring all over the ones who create little niches in this BIG massive platform..
my question is.. it will have internet life outside of the google internet platform? and worst yet..
it will have life outside of the corporate internet the took all over? (the people who knew the internet in the beggining of times know what im talking about)
before us all were considered products and advert targets?
Whatever i see things like this, it reminds me the way the greeks used to see the gods.. as jokers messing around with humans, much like politicians do to us nowadays.. (cause this must be a joke from the gods) in the eighties the allmighty IBM get crushed by the rookie microsoft because it didnt see the new software wave comming.. and from this new market its arch-enemy was born now microsoft is falling into pieces,…
Sorry, my OCD wouldn't allow me to absorb your otherwise well thought out post.

The internet remains the internet; Google is not creating "the internet as a platform".
Fractured English is usually quite tolerable as long as it's somewhat coherent, but when it comes in the form of a nonsensical rant I find it exponentially less so.

What kind of document did you open? A PDF??? It's working fine for me, .doc/.docx extensions open in QuickWord as expected.

"coming". Also sentences should begin with a capital letter. Sorry, my OCD wouldn't allow me to absorb your otherwise well thought out post.

You question is whether the internet will consist of anything other than Google? Yes, it will. The internet remains the internet; Google is not creating "the internet as a platform". Fractured English is usually quite tolerable as long as it's somewhat coherent, but when it comes in the form of a nonsensical rant I find it exponentially less so.
Also, there are the inner mechanics of capitalism, with its acquisitions and fusions.. and quickoffice its a example of that..
on the other side, the small companies wont stand against delicious buying offers of billions of dollars..
Capitalism its all about monopoly, isnt? so.. 2 + 2 = ..
Eric schimidt maybe is a small guy, but what a appetite.. :)
