Microsoft Office for Android smartphones preview
Microsoft just announced a preview program for its Office Suite for Android smartphones. The Android supported Microsoft Office apps have been available to Android tablets for almost half of a year now, and now there is an open beta program to test out those apps on Android smartphones. The quality and layout of the smartphone apps are said to be up to standard with the tablet versions and you will also be given the ability to open files from sources such as Dropbox and Google Drive.
If you’re dying for an alternative to Google Drive, and want to give the Microsoft apps a run on your Android phone, you will need a device running Kit Kat at a minimum, with 1GB of RAM, and you will need to sign up for access on Microsoft’s Google+ community page. After signing up, you will need to wait approximately 4 hours for Microsoft and Google to sort out permission issues. For the record, I just signed up for the beta program and was given the error “Your device isn’t compatible with this version” which means I will have to check back in 4 hours, so don’t assume your device is not compatible if it doesn’t work on the first attempt.
