OFFICE2HD: (Office squared HD).$7.99 Allows you to connect to your Google or DropBox account. Only really "syncs" your documents so if you want to edit your own documents it's great. Real-time collaboration DOES NOT work b/c when you have the document open on your iPad, you are opening the version only on your iPad and when you save, it saves back to the account so it's not "real time." However, they have built in tools in the app that allow you to do formatting features (bold, bullets, numbering, font changing, etc) Gives a really good document creation platform.
