Couple of good ones from Amazon in the last week...

After 15+ years, we've made a big change: Android Forums is now Early Bird Club. Learn more here.
Amazon App Store Thread - Daily Free Apps
- Thread starter Scur
- Start date
BTW: They updated the app a couple days ago, and I noticed the SMS permissions were removed.
They must have heard from a lot of people about how bad that idea was, or they realized they made a mistake requiring that permission.
Either way, at least that part of the issue is gone.
(But seriously, 40+ megs for the app? What in the heck are they doing there???)

Comparison of FIVE major Office Apps [Updated 10/25; PICS!] - xda-developers
I actually prefer Quick Office (which I actually purchased) for its Dropbox and Google Docs compatibility.
I love Polaris too, but I am happy to also have Docs2Go.
Great!
I was just going to start a thread to have this discussion now that I have 3 from amazon. I'd rather just keep one so I don't have too many options in the pop up when I open a spreadsheet.
Will check out this thread.
Here's a recent ComputerWorld review of Android office suites which includes all 3 of the Amazon free ones.

The author points to the lack of pinch to zoom in Documents to Go as a major negative, but it looks like that was added in a recent update.

Looks good, no stupid permissions, but it's another 50MB download. I doubt my low-end phone would run the game, even if I had the space available. Reviews, largely positive, say it's graphically pretty (and, not surprisingly, looks good on the Amazon Inflammation, I mean Fire).

Yeah 50mb! I'm not even going to try (but I'm saving it for "my next" device). I remember when the hard drive in my Mac was 40 mb and thought 80 mb was huge and way too expensive! All these devices and all the free stuff is amazing... it's like Christmas all year. A big thank you to Steve J. (even though Apple is not my thing anymore).

50 MB *again*? Wow. (But only Internet permission, which is nice.)
Of course, the "Break the Blocks" was under a meg, so the average over the past three days is more like 33MB. Or maybe it's a pattern: mega app, micro app, mega app... so tomorrow, I'd expect a "Hello World" app.

I have Dropbox on all the computers and devices I use. I also manage our corporate Dropbox account.
QuickOffice Pro allows me to work on/create a document and share it. One way I use it is for permission slips (I work with teens and their parents). So, I can make or alter an existing slip and share the link to the public Dropbox account on the go.
You can save to SD card, Google Docs, Sugarsync or Dropbox.
I just updated today... new feature:
*Support for Microsoft Office 2010 files
*Access and save to Evernote, Catch, and Egnyte
*Share files using Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, SlideShare, Docstoc, Scribd, and Yammer
*Updated user interface for easier navigation and control
*Split/merge cells, and wrap cell text in spreadsheets
*Create and indent numbered lists, bulleted lists in documents
Another nice office app is Polaris.
Didn't they already do Airport Mania 2?????
Hey Scur you think you might wanna contact Chrlwltrs and see about maybe starting to update the OP of this thread again? Perhaps make it a sticky? If so then feel free to contact him/me (and cc frisco). If not cool! Thought I'd ask
