Apple does not allow free software on that platform.

On the contrary. There are many free apps for the iPad.  However, creating
a version of LO compatible with iOS is not a trivial task.

No, there is not.

But it is planned[1]. Anyway, it is highly unlikely to see stable (ready to
use by people who are not developers) version before 2013 or even 2014.

Hi :)
Is there a virtual machine program for iPad?  Does VirtualBox work?  Perhaps a light-weight Gnu&Linux distro such as SliTaz or one of the Puppies with LO installed inside that might do the trick?

He means there is no gpl siftware for the ipad on the app store. The gpl is considered incompatible with Apples terms.

Not VirtualBox but

    downloads.phpnuke.org/en/download-item-view-y-y-m-x-l-l/VIRTUAL%2BIPAD.htm

claims to be a "try before you buy" virtual iPad.

Hi :)

Lol, i meant  virtual machine that could run inside iPad so that you could run other OSes on your iPad fairly easily.  I think Larry gave a good but disappointing answer! 

That is an interesting link tho!
Thanks all :)

Tom :)

Another nice idea ( s'pose), but not the one I had in mind ;-)

Why should MSOffice support ODF? Why should Apple allow virtual machines on their iPads? You can wait until another hacker team opens that platform for unauthorized software which of course will not change the matter of fact that 99% of all users are happy with what they are allowed to do.

Actually, later versions do, though there are some issues.

Because in more and more places (think European Union) it is becoming a legal
obligation to publish official texts in a non-proprietary format ?

format", but they did not get it.  So they had to adopt ODF for the
European market, or so I have heard.  If they do it bad enough, they can
blame the format and not their use of it.  Then they point and say that
you should not use ODF but MSO's formats if you want to have business
class documents.

Well, since I use Ubuntu for my default system, I do not have the MSO
option.  If I was required to use it, I do have a MSO 2003 version I
could add to my XP or Vista boots for my Ubuntu/Windows dual booting
laptops.

I have read something about 12.04LTS/Unity has some icon issues with LO,
but I did not see that.  But I use MATE instead of Unity as my preferred
desktop environment on my Ubuntu 12.04 boot on my testing laptop.  I
like GNOME 2.x, so MATE is the best DE I can currently find for 12.04
that has the look and feel of what I have on my Ubuntu 10.04LTS default
desktop [which I am typing from now].

So, if I want to deal with MSO files, I use LO 3.4.6 [may try 3.5.3 on
the testing laptop] on my desktop.  It seems to read most of the MSO
documents I get sent from people who are at government agencies and are
required to use MSO.  I also tend to tell them to send out .doc instead
of .docx files, since there are still a large percentage of
people/agencies that never bought any newer version of MSO than 2003.  
Also I tell them that MSO 2010 .docx files can have issues if you open
them in MSO 2007.  So they should stick with .doc files instead.  MSO
just keep on messing with their file formats and those new version are
not completely compatible with their older MSO versions that could read
those formats [by mime name].

.docx is rapidly becoming my new most annoying default. Though it will
likely never trump "hide file extensions by default" or even "Hide My
Computer/My Documents from desktop by default"

Hi :)
Push for Doc rather than DocX.  Most people have no idea how to do something as complicated as
File - "Save As .."
or
Golden Globe - "Save As ..."

Tom :)

Hi again :)
You are a geek.  A lot of people are a connoisseur of something.  When it's to do with computers it's considered weird and geeky.  Take pride in it and take pity on those less capable than you.  If you were a wine connoisseur then you would probably hate cheap wines but in the computer world you just have to deal with it as it dominates.
Regards from
Tom :)
