I agree that a mini-OOo could bring lots of users from mobile devices and netbooks. However, I think this is a branding issue. There's no chance in this world that Microsoft Office Mobile is actually built on the same code as the desktop version, but they branded it that way to build recognition and sales.

Using the same concept, OOo's best bet is to create a new application, possibly using the ODF Toolkit or some other technology, that lets users edit ODF files from their mobiles and netbooks. It has to have some basic functionality and some recognizable user interface components in common with desktop OOo to make the branding connection work, but from a technical standpoint it is probably most logical to have little in common, so that it can be tailored to work well in its tiny environment.

A small footprint OO is very much required.

This makes it very hard to run OOo regarding of RAM or storage.

This is where a rewrite of OOo tailored specifically for PDAs and/or
smartphones would be very useful. (MSO Mobile was preinstalled on my
SmartPhone. ODF support is not available.)
