text viewer: Can you view PDF files on this or Microsoft Word documents?

I believe the A2 is limited to text files at this time. That may change with future firmware updates. If PDF and MSOffice document viewing is important to you, you may want to wait for the next generation - Cowon A3 - which is due out later this year. That is supposed to also have the option of 30 or 60 GB HDDs, and will have a upgraded chipset (DaVinci by TI) and have the capability of playing VOB files (which will save DVD converting time.) It was shown at CES, and you can watch a video about it at CNET.

It works fine on Windows 7; inserting the disc just opens a PDF file that allows you to browse the various other PDF files (organized by decade of publication).Most computers already have Adobe Reader installed for reading PDF files. If you do not, you can always get the latest version for free at http://get.adobe.com/reader/.

No and Yes!!! Automatically out of the box...no. It can read them and edit very little straight out of the box. HOWEVER, a free program from the Mobil Market called Kingsoft Office is fantastic. It opens Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files and it will also create those. Now, the formatting is not as extensive as full blown office...but it is great otherwise. I had about 20 minutes before church got started last night and I had an idea of a subject I wanted to teach on in the up coming weeks...I pulled out my tablet and started a new Word document and started typing an outline. I do suggest purchasing the "SANOXY Keyboard Case with Stylus Pen for 10inch Superpad/Flytouch Android Tablet PC" from Amazon...it is WELL worth the money. It gives you the ability to plug in an actual keyboard to use when you want to work primarily in Word and Excel!!

Posted this in response to another question, but check out and download Libre Office instead: it's free, has complete MS Office functionality including reading from/editing/saving as MS Office file types.

you can download an app called Google Docs which seems to work like word, but it will not allow you to run Microsoft products such as office

No unfortunately not. It has a wordpad kind of like the ms word starter on windows 7 but it has way less features and is annoying to use. If you want to save money download apache OpenOffice for free. You can save your documents as word files or any type of file really. It has all the features of ms office too. (PowerPoint, excel, etc.)

Yes. Under the file menu there is an item "Open PDF" which will convert a pdf document to WP format.

Yes, I have scanned documents with it as well. It does not convert them to a PDF file though.

It is an Android tablet. It can not run Windows software. You can use Adobe Reader to read pdf files.

I have never tried a pdf file. The resolution is so poor, I'm not sure you could even read it. I wouldn't recommend this projector for any presentations at all.I used it strictly for halloween digital animations.

I don't know specifics of the iPad capabilities, but the data is in .pdf format, so any device that can read Adobe .pdf files should be able to view the documents in the same ways other .pdf files can be viewed. If the iPad can't do that, it may not be possible, or there may be an app available that would allow .pdf viewing. After viewing another users answer I can concur that some devices ot versions of pdf readers do leave a transparent but annoying Marvel logo visible. I haven't run into it in a while, and if it is a bother I would check to see if an updated version of an Adobe pdf reader is available.

Yes, you can download Abiword (open beta ATM) for .doc editing, and Gnumeric for spreadsheets. Unfortunately, there's no PowerPoint substitute.
