OnLive Desktop lands on Android tablets, brings Microsoft Office

Excel excitement ensuesTablets News By Jools Whitehorn 18 hours ago | Tell us what you think [ 1 comments ]

Tweet Android users can get down to business

The OnLive desktop app first launched in January, offering iPad users remote access to a full version of Windows 7, including Microsoft Office.

Android tablet users can now join the Office party, "enjoying" Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint, as well as Adobe Reader.

The service also promises cloud-enhanced web speeds of up to a gigabit, producing a cloud-accelerated connection that slashes page-loading and streaming speeds regardless of home Wi-Fi speeds.

Free basic service

The OnLive Desktop app is available now from the US Android Market for free, and there are a number of versions to suit your budget.

Desktop Standard is free, Desktop Plus is $4.99/month and Desktop Pro is coming soon at $9.99 along with 50GB of cloud storage. There will also be an Enterprise version for big businesses.

OnLive hasn't yet released details of when we'll see a UK offering, though we imagine it can't be far off.

You can see what we thought of OnLive Desktop on the iPad when we took it for a spin at CES in January, and check out the hype-tastic promo video for yourself on the OnLive Desktop site.

LoveFilm app lands on Android

LoveFilm has unveiled its first-ever app for Android, which allows users to manage their LoveFilm accounts on the go.

It's not the streaming app that many an Android user has been waiting for – if you want this you will have to defect and buy an iPad – but the application does offer easy access to rental lists as well as access to film information through whatever Android device they are using.

Stream team

We contacted LoveFilm about the omission of streaming on the app and unfortunately there's no news as to when we will see this functionality land on the Android Market.

What you do get, however, is a whole bunch of movie trailers to watch and also the ability to take a gander at the 70,000 titles that make up the LoveFilm movie catalogue.

When it comes to streaming movies in the UK, just last month Netflix announced that it will be offering its streaming service to Brits in 2012 – with MGM and possibly ITV offering up their content.

Android also unveiled its own movie store in October. This is no doubt a service the Amazon-owned LoveFilm will be watching very closely.

to get the LoveFilm By Post app, head over to the Android Market now.

iPad-only paper The Daily lands in the UK

The Daily has quietly launched in the UK, with the iPad-only newspaper now available from iTunes.

Seemingly landing on the UK iTunes Store without fanfare, the Guardian was the first to notice The Daily's UK launch and is reporting that there's already some teething problems with the e-paper.

According to early reviews, The Daily is still filled with a lot of US content, which isn't going to sit will with those who want to read UK-specific articles.

News, iPad style

The Daily has some powerful media weight behind it. It's run by News Corp, which also publishes The News Of The World, the Sun and the Times.

When it launched in the US, Rupert Murdoch said The Daily was targeting the 15 million Americans that were set to buy a tablet in 2011.

If you want to purchase The Daily UK, then it is 69p per issue or £27.99 for an annual subscription.

In TechRadar's review of the iPad newspaper, we noted that The Daily does tablet publishing better than anyone else and it is a "wonderful, glossy experience". But this was hampered with slow load times and the majority of the articles are too short.

The Daily was originally meant to launch in June, so it's better late than never for the paper.
