LibreOffice Beats OpenOffice.org Debut by a Whisker
LibreOffice 3.3 is as polished as one might expect in a project that, for all of its novelty, has many years of development work backing it up. Any outfit that's looking for a solid toolset for users who don't require a lot of handholding, or integration with Microsoft's Office server applications, could do much worse than to choose it. For many users, this will have everything necessary in a desktop productivity suite, for an unbeatable price: free. The suite consists of the Writer word processor, the Calc spreadsheet, the Impress presentation creator and its associated Draw component, the Math equation editor, the Base database manager and a PDF creation tool. If some of those names seem familiar, they should; they come from the corresponding tools in OpenOffice.org. But LibreOffice is more than just a badge-engineered version of OpenOffice.org. A number of features are unique to LibreOffice, and that itself is significant, considering that the project has only existed for about four months.

AutoCAD for Mac 2011 Brings Powerful Tools to Mac
Although it's taken Autodesk more than 18 years to bring its CAD software back to Apple's Macintosh platform, there's something to be said for waiting until it can be done properly. AutoCAD 2011 for Mac takes the market-leading tool for which Autodesk is famous and couples it with an interface that remains true to the Mac environment. The software recognizes multitouch gestures on supported input hardware, and it's possible to browse AutoCAD files in the Mac OS X Finder with the Cover Flow option. It includes support for the company's AutoLISP programming language and ObjectARX extension applications, as well as the command line interface that allows users to bypass the software's menus and palettes and enter commands directly for ultimate efficiency. This is a complete rewrite of the application for the Mac, and many potential customers will focus on what's missing, especially in the areas of layering and workflow. But as a first pass—or, at least, the first one in almost 20 years—AutoCAD 2011 for Mac is rather impressive.

Power.ME a Good Tool for Solo Use
AppTime's Power.ME and Power.ME HD do a good job of providing a framework for individuals and ad hoc workgroups. What they offer is a brace of project- and task-management tools that allow users to maintain data synchronization across a range of mobile devices. Currently, iOS devices from Apple are supported, with Android support coming soon, according to the company. A Web client is also available. What they don't offer—yet, anyway—is easy and straightforward integration with the rest of the business. If your need is for something that easily ties into Microsoft Exchange or a CalDAV-based system, keep looking. Although there are some questionable aspects of Power.ME, it's useful as a tool for personal organization. It's easy to create tasks, projects and folders, and to associate them as needed. The synchronization of these with the Power.ME service is impressively seamless. One drawback is the nonstandard user controls for editing and deletion.

Quickoffice Connect Offers Usable, Simple Document Access
It's awkward to have to break out a laptop in a crowded airport just to make minor changes to a document, but the Quickoffice Connect Mobile Suite makes it possible to get into the details from the screen of an iPad or iPhone. Excel spreadsheets and Word documents are easily created and edited, documents can be moved across WiFi, and cloud-based storage providers can be used with Quickoffice, without pain. Although there are many options for reading and editing documents created with the legacy file formats of Microsoft Office, Quickoffice Connect can also use the Office OpenXML formats introduced with Office 2007. For users who simply need remote file access and viewing capabilities, the company also offers the free Quickoffice Connect, and when advanced editing is on the menu but remote access isn't, there's Quickoffice Mobile Suite at $4.99; the full-blown Quickoffice Connect Mobile Suite is available from the Apple iTunes App Store for $9.99.
