InstallFree Nexus is an application I just learned about that allows you to use different applications on any device you want, while optimizing for that device. You can use Microsoft Office or LibreOffice on an iPad, Android Tablet, Chromebook or any device with a web browser. You can view and edit documents that you have stored in Dropbox, Google Drive, Office 365 and others and even access web apps that are written in Flash, Silverlight or Java. InstallFree Nexus makes it possible to use rich web applications written in Flash, Silverlight and Java on any device. All you need is a browser.
It's cloud based platform that allows you real-time access to these apps. It uses HTML 4 and 5 to work.
It is currently in public beta and will be going to full production this summer. There will be free and paid versions.

- The full LibreOffice application suite for creating and editing documents from any device or browser.
- Full-fidelity viewing for Microsoft Office documents.
