4Do work on your phone? That sounds like crazy talk but if you must there’s always Microsoft Office.
Microsoft Office Mobile 2010 (update) Review
by on May 18, 2010
Microsoft has produced a version of Office for its mobile platform since day one.
It wasn’t particularly stellar then, being outperformed by competitors such as Psion but it at least offered the ability to view and edit Word and Excel documents and presenting PowerPoint files.
The latest 2010 edition is being pushed out for free to qualified phones and we think that’s a good strategy by Microsoft, as frankly the base functionality seems to have changed little.
This isn’t to say it’s bad, on the contrary it’s an accomplished if semi-polished application.
Added into the mix is SharePoint and OneNote. Effectively these are all a shadow of their desktop counterparts and the interface remains a mishmash of stylus based input and more recent finger-optimised menus.
It’s hard to do the suit justice in a small amount of words but offline editing of basic Word and Excel documents is something everyone needs to do at some point.

Ragdoll Blaster 3
The iOS equivalent of a plain cheese sandwich: does the job, but it won't linger in the memory afterwards.
iPhone
Puckerz
One for those with a careless bent, and perfect for when you want to play a game but not do any thinking.
iPad
Pulse: Volume One
Stylish, absorbing and challenging, but needs Game Center support and an injection of longevity and jolly.
iPad
Procreate
Some hugely impressive tools and an interface ideal for artists make this a great painting app.
iPhone
Print n share
Difficult to set up, but once you’ve got it working, it offers a great range of print options.
iPad
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within HD
Control issues aside, Warrior Within really is a magnificent sequel.

Full of style and a surprising amount of substance

pxl.
The interface feels a bit out of place on iOS, but it’s a fun app, and produces interesting results.
Puzzlejuice
Absurdly challenging, sometimes brutal, but frequently brilliant (especially on the iPad); just be aware of what you’re letting yourself in for. (Sob.)
