There is lots of reason for hope on this, and the native PDA format
could be *.abw. A PDA which just began shipping in limited quantities
to developers (hey, lookee here! I got one) is the Agenda VR3
<http://www.agendacomputing.com>. It runs Linux and X and the
software it comes with is fully open sourced. So, the AbiWord Linux
version would work "out of the box" (after a recompile for the target
processor). Hard to say how popular the devices will actually become,
though there is a geek following.
Of course, for the VR3 and any other PDA, "there are issues". Screen
real estate would probably need some careful thought, perhaps leading
to OPT_ABI_MAN_THIS_IS_REALLY_A_TINY_SCREEN=1. Memory footprint is
also an issue since there is really no swap space on a PDA.
