[QUOTE="Nellisir, post: 6233105, member: 70"] And can edit Open Office files. I didn't know. Getting an iPad was never really a consideration for me, so I never looked into them at all. I'm not sure if the Dropbox app will allow files to be stored natively on the iPad and update them when it gets access to the net, or if it requires web/net/cloud access to work every time. My Nexus is wi-fi only, so I need a hotspot to get online. From the quick glance around I did earlier, it looks like a lot of the word processor programs for the iPad actually operate "in the cloud", so you wouldn't have or need the files on the iPad at all. I'm not sure why I'm the only one posting in this thread; it's a bit of the blind leading the blind here. I had to do a lot of cross-platform file sharing in school over the past few years, so I'm OK suggesting Dropbox, but the gadgets on either end I'm less familiar with. [/QUOTE]
