That's why R&D needs to address the challenges of tomorrow. I really hope
mobile OOo gets underway before it's too late. In fact it almost is.
For mobile platforms, the office suite has to be completely rewritten:
* The primary issue is available RAM. (Despite shipping with an
alleged 512 MB RAM, I have 12 MB RAM for running programs in, when
turned on.);
Well, hardware limits are an issue ever since but never stopped progress
for too long. ;-)
* The secondary issue is the number of environments that can be
installed.Java, .NET, etc haven't been ported to mobile platforms yet.
As such, the office suite has to be written in one language, with all
required functionality contained in libraries ported to the specific
language used for writing the program for the specific platform.
Of course I agree with you, but I would recommend to discuss this on a
development list, as we are on d...@marketing here, mostly trying to make
stakeholders aware, that OOo will loose market position, if it doesn't
have a mobile version ready when time has come. Implementation is just a
question of commitment.
Best regards,
Peter
