Claims that were made 5-7 years ago can often come true later, :) 
and I already showed you that Samsung is pursuing it.  Nobody 
will type up MS Word docs on their mobile alone, but they can do 
it with a Galaxy S8 in a Dex dock now, and soon won't be using 
Word or Office altogether.  If you don't believe me, I suggest 
you read up on some computing history, start with WordStar:
