In the age of HTML5 Touch events and websockets, I was hoping to see a web-based office suite. I guess google settled on the native app route.
Also, the stock browser on Android (the non Chrome one) and also the one built into Android Webviews in apps has no websocket support.
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.
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.
And I am sure they will. "Works offline" has been a missing feature in Drive for ages.
Anything in particular I'm missing?
