No. Android programs need a completely different type of interface to desktop programs. OOo is a desktop computer program.

It would seem that The Document Foundation, the leaders of LibreOffice, are going to try and do a version for the Android Platform. You can see a presentation done at Flourish 2011 in Chicago, IL at http://flourishconference.blip.tv/file/4987563/ .

For those who only want to view (not edit) their OOo / LO documents, there is the free Mobile Document Viewer application for Android, which can display ODF documents as well as the older OOo 1.x sxw and sxc documents.

:( That's soooo sad. Are there any OOwriter-type apps that are compatible with a Nextbook Ares 11A?
