So let?s talk about work today; being productive with your Android. Fortunately for me, the most I ever need for my line of work is word processing, spreadsheets and of course email. This is easy; I haven?t touched MS Word for about three months now. Everything is Google Docs if possible...

Most of what you read everyday is done through Google Docs; across my htc, laptop & desktop. Of course things take a little longer on the htc, but I have a learned a lot of ?work-arounds? without having a mouse, right-click, or adequate cut & paste.
The app is easy to use and syncs well; you can use it off-line if you need to write something up to upload later. The Spreadsheet function works good; I mean the most complicating function for me is usually to SUM some columns anyway. But yes I have uploaded complicated spreadsheets from the desktop and it still works on the htc; like the True Home-cost Calculator.
Onto the LG for a minute; the physical keyboard of the LG is great for work texts and dictating orders live on speaker phone. I still can?t seem to merge the two devices for work just yet!
On the Docs desktop version, you can do Presentation, Drawings and Forms... Still have a lot to explore... I?ve been using MS Word professionally for well over 10 years, I?ve come to rely on it for the most pressing deadlines and projects... If Google can lure me this easy from MS Office, who knows that can happen...!
