Operating system developers are in a octagon cage match over the ability to edit documents from your mobile device.
Microsoft now offers Office Mobile for Windows Phone, iOS and Android devices. No cost, but you have to be a subscriber to Office 365, Microsoft's cloud-based suite of applications for desktop PCs and Macs. Microsoft calls its cloud storage "Skydrive."
Apple recently decided to offer its iWork office suite (Pages word processor, Numbers spreadsheet and Keynote presentation apps) for free to anyone who purchases a new iOS 7 device. Apple calls its cloud storage "iCloud."
And now Google has entered the octagon by offering the highly regarded Quickoffice suite of apps for free. The price of admission is a Google account. If you have a GMail email account, or if you signed up for a Google+ social networking account, you're all set. Google calls its cloud storage "Google Drive." Everyone who signs up for a Google account gets a 5 GB Google Drive space for free. More space is available for a fee.
As a bonus to encourage people to take advantage of the QuickOffice offer, Google will increase your Google Drive space allocation by 10 GB. But only if you sign in to your Google account from the QuickOffice app by Sept 26.
