Snag is porting to ARM - not a trivial task. In principle if you had
enough RAM you could run a full OOo on the latest ARM processors but the
way the current Blackberry is designed its not likely to allow this. OOo
probably has the potential to have a big impact on the PDA market if
someone designed a machine to take it if only because the PDA market is
less hung up about MS software. I guess it will happen at some time. It
might be more likely with say AbiWord and Gnumeric on a Linux based PDA.
