Ah forgot the point.. the point was. We should look for ways to make a
more tablet compliant user experience. Sure Tablets (beyond the iPad)
are not as popular, but there is a product and a market for them. Also
as OS move to other platforms AOO would move with them. Having a
configurable UX will make our chances better to REMAIN as the default
office option for that OS.
Here is a screenshot of an android spreadsheet:

OOo4Kids also did some of these UX improvements to adapt to small
screens like OLPC's XO.

Is a minor adaptation, but this is much better than 3 or 5 top-level
toolbars. Maybe sideway panes, can become grid menus that can allow
users to pull in the screen similar to Androids App menu.

There are a bit more than a chinese knockoff, but still is an
interesting market to look ahead.

The previous paragraph to the one you quoted below says:
"Our cloud based solution allows you to access the full functionality of a LibreOffice
applications and programs just like on a desktop with the best of breed integration with
other quick network file systems."
It can't be cloud based unless you are online.

It specifically says "If you are connected to the Internet, you can also edit
your documents through our cloud based solution."
It does not say anything about editing documents when you are offline. It only says it can
manage documents on the device itself.

They did.

Have you test this? I have read their description, it never said you
need to be online to use this software. It does mention something like
this:
"Documents Unlimited currently supports the management of documents on
the device itself as well as Dropbox, Box, Google Drive and Google
Docs and it also supports Wifi and USB transfer between your computer
and iPad. There is also a file manager where you can take documents to
go with you. If you are connected to the Internet, you can also edit
your documents through our cloud based solution."
I would think that they would mention that you need to be online to
use the whole application and not just an extra functionality.

There is a company offering a remote openoffice session on the cloud,
as a service. Haven´t used them, can´t vouch for them.

Of course you can download OpenOffice on to your iPad and distribute the
software to other computers connected to it. However, your iPad won't
run the program. There are technical reasons as well as license issues
with Apple.
