I remember this being discussed several years ago. It's possibly too late now given the time development will take. Those of us saying that efforts should be primarily channeled into making the code more efficient than adding more features didn't get very far. Now it might be just as easy to wait until the Smart Phones can simply run OOo as the hardware continues to improve and fall in price. Or make OOo available as a thin client login as an interim. I should think Google is thinking more in terms of its own on-line apps than OOo for Android. This is a marketing issue because without a presence on mobile devices OOo's future is bleak. Think 5 years ahead. What will the cloud be like then? What improvements will be made to handsets? There is a reasonable chance that by then Android will be like the open architecture PC competing for the desktop with the Mac.
