Hi DJ Steve Just thinking, why don't you guys make Writer OO for Handheld PCs? This > way we won't have to use Word :)
By handheld, I assume you mean a Pocket PC. At the moment, the best word processor for the Pocket PC platform is TextMaker, which is also available for Windows and Linux. You can learn more about TextMaker for Pocket PC at http://www.softmaker.de/tmp_en.htm. I've been using it for a few years, and I love it (although I don't do that much "real" word processing on my Pocket PC). I think it's unlikely we'll see OOo on a handheld, at least for some time. We're still working on getting it leaner and meaner on real computers! Also, is there a Windows Mobile OS replacement? Like, Linux Mobile or > anything? Yes, but your Pocket PC needs to have a flashable ROM, like an Ipaq. There are two different versions of Linux that work on handhelds: - Opie (see screenshots at http://opie.handhelds.org/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=ipaq). This is a cut down version of Linux that operates like a PDA type of operating system. It is based on the system designed for the Sharp Zaurus. - There is another version of Linux for handhelds that is more full featured (like desktop Linux), but I can't think of its name now. Both of these are GUIs that go on top of a command line version of Linux designed for Pocket PCs. You can learn more about running Linux on Ipaqs at http://www.ipaqlinux.com/ . You can learn more about handheld devices that support Linux at http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT8728350077.html. I hope this gives you enough links to get you started! Adrian
