"In the absence of a full, editable version of Documents To Go
(DataViz still hasn't released it), this might be of some serious
interest to the Palm community -- or those that are willing to muck
around a bit, anyway. X.org's X server implementation has been
successfully shoehorned onto a Pre, meaning that we're well on our way
to being able to run arbitrary Linux-based X11 apps on our phones --
including the mighty OpenOffice, as demonstrated here. It seems we're
still a ways off yet; the devs have some file system issues to work
through, which they say will likely take "weeks to months, rather than
days" to fix, but it's a promising start. What, you'd never dreamed of
running a desktop office suite on a 3.1-inch display? Follow the break
