Android at present has no apps except browsers that have a tabbed interface for open files. It is critical to be able to open more than one doc or pdf at once to get serious work done. Please consider this in feature requests. Thanks.

Joel, in the initial version outlining will not be available, but we will most certainly make it available later on.

Might Office for Android include outlining capabilities (e.g. a bit like MS Word)?

Rabie, there is no way to add VBA support on a non-Windows operating system. VBA relies on OLE Automation, a Microsoft-only technology. Our software however preserves VBA macros that are contained in Office files.

I just thought I would post a feature request for consideration while your in the development stage. The plan maker I used in the past on win mobile was a early version so you might very well have implemented or are planning to implement them already but here are my thoughts anyway …
I have tried all of the spreadsheet applications for the android and have not found any that are suitable for my needs. What I have noticed is none of them seem to pay enough attention to 1 of the most important things in my opinion anyway. That would be data entry into a spreadsheet. All the wonderful features offered by an application are not very useful if you can’t get your data into them in a quick and efficient manner. 1 of the great features of these devices is the ability for the user to select a keyboard that best suits his or her needs. However I have found that the intergration with some apps to be cumbersome. I do think you need the ability to use different keyboards to appease the masses but I also think there is a lot that can be done within the app to greatly enhance the data entry. One example would be to be able to format a cell with a sub keyboard that comes up when the cell is selected. For example I almost always use the hard keyboard on my moto droid 1 but it is very difficult to input numbers efficiently. So if I select a cell for numeric entry a soft number pad would be displayed. You could have a wide range of soft sub keyboards to choose from when formatting a cell for dates, times, ect.
