Polaris Office on Android is fantastic and allows you to do all that... It comes by default (free) on android 4.2, not 100% sure about these earlier versions of android but you should have no problem getting it (or upgrading to 4.2?).

Why are you guys stopping selling tablets Gibbo?
Absolutely no profit in it for us. Far too many customers seem to think that when they spend sub £100 on a tablet as to why its not as good as their friends £400 iPad.
In short they are just a nightmare. So we shall kill them all off, if we sell any more in the future it will probably just be the NVIDIA branded ones.

That makes sense. Thanks
You guys have always offered such a large range and that's possibly where the support nightmare comes from?
If you were to only offer certain more premium branded (and only 1 brand?) 'high end' power user tablets (with a price to match) it would make the support more worthwhile (and your tablets probably more profitable). At the end of the day you guys have a premium support staff (compared to others) who's time is wasted on a ~£40 tablet trying to solve why little Johnny can't play Candy Crush.
Just my 2 cents

We tried that, it failed.
The big brands the support is minimal, they might take your 3-4% profit upto 6-8%.
Going forward we shall just phase them all out and potentially only focus on NVIDIA tablets coming soon as already mentioned which will be high spec and high price units.
Fair enough, there's so much competition around the tablet market currently getting tied into a brand (and shifting enough of them to hit some lower price points than others) is the way to go... NVIDIA of course you have a very good working relationship with so you can offer us some amazing deals from the outset!
I think Nvidia have just decided to kill off Tegra in tablets.

Then again, those high end tablets might fit in with their strategy for Tegra going forward;

I thought tablets were taking over PCs?
They are, just not the dross OcUK are selling and there's no profit margin for OcUK in the tablets people actually want

That's what happens when you **** off all of your customers I suppose with unreasonable promises
