<p>For those looking to be a little bit more productive on their Android tablets, there is good news in that Wine is coming to Android. This would allow native Windows apps that do not have a mobile counterpart yetlike Microsoft Office, for exampleto operate on another operating system without even requiring a Windows license or key.</p><p>Other potential suites that can be ported to Android include the desktop version of Adobe's Creative Suite and other specialized programs designed for Windows without a mobile app counterpart.</p><p>The other nice thing about Wine is that you don't have to emulate or virtualize the entire Windows OS or dual-boot into Windowslaunch Wine and launch the app you want to use and you're good to go without consuming too much hardware resources. You can read more about Wine on Wikipedia.</p><p>Unfortunately, however, there is no set timeline for when Wine will debut for Android, though according to The Next Web, the project is under way right now. It may be a while before we see Wine so it will be interesting to see if Wine debuts first to allow desktop Office to be operated on Android tablets, or if Microsoft will ready native Android Office apps for the platform first.</p><p><a href="http://www.gottabemobile.com/2013/02/05/wine-to-bring-desktop-microsoft-office-suite-to-android-tablets/">Keep reading...</a></p>
