Will I be able to load Microsoft office on it? I have had it emailed to me from Microsoft, will it load?

I will need virus protector won't I?

Can I plug an Ironkey into it?

I know I can expand the storage with an sd card.

    Not sure if you can load it on but there is an alternative called Polaris Office suite.

    re anti virus, its subjective whether you need it, if you were to install 1 Id use avast. As long as you download safe apps eg ones that are popular on the play store you should be fine.

    Is an ironkey a usb flash drive ?

    Is Polaris free? Or already on it?

    An Ironkey is a storage device.

    From what I found on the net polaris should be pre installed on the device as here

    I was going to suggest using an OTG cable like these but a poster on here has problems using 1. Note too sure using an OTG, i know they work with the nexus but not too sure about the Note.

    This thread suggests using an OTG cable

    Its only the Polaris viewer/ a Trial .
    Dont believe MS have ported Office for Android .

    Virus protector not really but Avast is free from the market .

    You will probably need an adaptor for the iron key as Note does not have a standard USB port .

    See Android Tablet post questions on here as well for useful information .
