Quickoffice just released a new update that enhances its Android Honeycomb tablet app, Quickoffice Pro HD. In the this new update tablet users gain a single-screen, multi-pane document view optimized for tablets, along with integrated access to cloud partners such as Box.net, Dropbox, Google Docs, Huddle, SugarSync and MobileMe. These upgrades pretty much mirror the features you’d find on the iPad version.
Perhaps the most important feature the Quickoffice Pro HD (v4.1) app offers is access to editing for quick revisions and displaying footnotes and endnotes within Word documents. It’s a simple but important feature many users have been waiting for. Now, high school and college students looking to use their tabs for writing term papers can really get it done on the go.
With QuickOffice Pro HD, you’ll get the usual support for creating and editing 2003 and 2007 Microsoft Office files. Also, users will have better formatting capabilities within Powerpoint, including undo / redo, picture insertion and deletion, shape background editing and numbered list re-calculation. You can also insert shapes into a presentation and insert vertical text, which are features the iPad had months ago.
These are pretty cool improvements that will come with a pretty hefty price tag of $19.99, but if you’re looking for something similar that’s not as expensive I’d suggest Documents to Go for $14.99; it isn’t as visually appealing but it functions just about the same.
