Google Buys QuickOffice

Regular readers of this blog know that we have been trying to find the perfect online/offline app for word processsing. At present, we’re using Google Docs (now called Google Drive) and Kingsoft Office when we’re offline. All of that may change in the future.

Recently Google announced that they have acquired QuickOffice for undisclosed compensation. The speculation is that it’s a preemptive move to prepare them for the forthcoming app battle with MSFT and the iFruit company.

We have used QuckOffice in the past and have always loved it. We’re looking forward to a future with Google integrating QuickOffice into their product line and hope it becomes the solution we’re looking for.

Personally, we’re convinced that the MSFT Office monopoly is LONG over and users just want to get their work done. And at the lowest possible price. We may ALL be using QuickOffice a year or so from now.
