The development of KOffice on mobile devices really marks one of the OOo
lead requests of having an OOo for PDA and/or mobiles. This puts more
pressure into the project on looking at how can a project like OOo run
efficiently in a mobile environment.
....
What happens when someone markets a phone that you can plug in a USB
keyboard and a monitor. Then you don't need a laptop or desktop unless
you are doing something specialist. For Office applications surely this
can't be far away.
Don't get puzzeled by the headline and have in mind, what is really
going on.Quote from the text:
The team working on the KOffice libraries focused on getting KOffice
ready as a backend for the document viewer.
So Nokia is *not* bringing KOffice "as is" to mobile devices. There are
just people woring on libraries, that will be the backend for a viewer
application.
Referring to OOo in this context is not to speak about "OOo on mobile
phones" (what imho is rather stupid and time wasting) but about using
some parts of OOo as backend in other applications. (Again the topic of
modlarization and reuse).
BTW.: I have no idea, why Nokiais investing in "KOffice libs" as backend
for a viewer application. Okular is already very good in diplaying
office (including ODF) documents - and Okular's UI is surely easier to
adopt to moobile devices than the UI of an office application.
