[AD] NebulaXLite creates rich XML workbooks (multiple sheets) which can be opened by Google Docs and Open Office, in addition of course to Excel. The XML isn't Excel-specific, it conforms to open standards, and Excel happens to open those files as well.
remove.pleaseNebula-RnD.com/products/xlite.htm When I got my Android, I didn't look for Excel for Android, I just viewed docs as Google spreadsheets. Your BlackBerry and iPhone users would probably do well to do the same. NebulaXLite is free for all developers and only a one-time $200 purchase price for end-users with completely free support. Many people here use NebulaXLite over Universe and Unidata, and I hope a few of our clients will comment on their experience. Some months ago I also announced NebulaXPlus which exports XLite documents to a local Windows box to convert to a "real" Excel ..xls file. This allows even more complex documents to be created - yes, without user intervention. NebulaXPlus is now in beta. Thanks for you time.
