View OpenOffice files on the Iphone/IPod touch for FREE

Here is how it is done, long winded but might be needed in a pinch.....

1. Go to the ipod app store and download quickoffice connect (free)
2. In quick office connect select edit, then add email attachment option. Then select edit again and add google docs.
3. Go to your email account and verify both services.
4. Once you have verified both, email "files@quickofficeconnect.com" the email with the ".odt" openoffice file attached to it.
5. Go back to quickoffice connect on the ipod
6. Go to email attachments
7. Select the folder with the arrow option at the bottom (move), select the .odt file that you wanted to view, select move, then select the drive icon with the "G" (google docs). You just moved the attachment to google docs. Pat yourself on the back.
8. Go to safari and type in "docs.google.com"
9. Select the file, to view, which you just uploaded via quickoffice and select it.
10. View it already!


Done.


P.S. Once the app is set up, verified etc, this becomes a much shorter process!
