Microsoft has debuted Office Mobile for Android smartphones. Now before you get all excited, the app is only compatible with Android phones (not tablets) and is currently only available in the US Play Store, though that should change soon.
The app, just like its iOS counterpart, is free to download, but requires the user to have a valid Office 365 subscription to work. This, is unlike the app’s Windows Phone counterpart, which is a fully functioning suite in of itself. This distinction is probably what Microsoft considers a unique selling point for the Windows Phone 8 devices. Regardless, the Office for Mobile app on Android includes the usual MS Word and MS Excel, which can be used to create, edit and review documents and excel sheets, while PowerPoint can only be used to review presentations. Incidentally, the PowerPoint in Office for Mobile does not allow one to create presentations from scratch.
If you just want to download Office for Mobile, you can go here for the Android version and here for the iOS version.
