Default Office Suite Pro free today on Amazon

For those of you who don't yet have a full version app for Word/Excel/Powerpoint. Office Suite Pro is Amazon's Free App-O-The-Day today.

I use Docs-2-Go myself so don't really know how Office Suite compares, but if you don't have either, it's a great deal to grab it while it's there.

I went ahead and purchased Office Suite anyway since it cant hurt to have a backup

Just saw that. Regular $14.99. Great deal.

I prefer QuickOffice, but really, really like Polaris too. Now have three word processors... choice is good.

Comparison of FIVE major Office Apps [Updated 10/25; PICS!] - xda-developers

Interesting info. On Android, if the chart is accurate, seems quite less full-featured than the others.

QO is great for cloud computing, which is why I tend to prefer it.

Meant to say Docs2Go is less featured than the others on Android.

How's the PDF support of Polaris or quick office? I've been using docs2 go for a while, and am willing to try others, especially if it means forking more bucks to dataviz

I downloaded it earlier today. I have to see what it has to offer. I have both Quick Office and DocsToGo already. I use DocsToGo over QuicknOffice each day, because QuickOffice is unable to freeze panes in my excel spreadsheets.

I love how smooth QO is for PDF rendering and reading. I had D2G on BB and it was decent but it seemed harder to navigate, but they may have a better product for Android.

I already have QuickOffice and full Docs2Go, but I went ahead and got Office Suite Pro today too since it was free. I find that they all have their goods and bads, so the more options the better, right?

Works well for me, but I have not really thrown any serious PDFs at it yet.
