Hello again, More people are turning to mobile devices and looking at
current trends, the document people still will be viewing on their

serious (extremely serious) about dominating the landscape, then
OpenOffice.org needs to consider a mobile version NOT PORTABLE VERSION.
You're confusing file formats (ODF) with applications (OpenOffice).
There are many applications that work with ODF files, OpenOffice being
but one of them. There may very well be applications for those
devices that support ODF. For example, there will soon be AbiWord for
the Nokia N800 & N810 Internet Tablet. AbiWord supports ODT files, at
least in the desktop version. ODT files are the ODF format for word
processing.
Due to resource limitations, mobile applications tend to be "light
weight", which means they are stripped down, compared to full suites,
such as OpenOffice.
I don't know about you, but besides when I view it on Nokia's website, I
can't actually remember if I have actually seen the two phones you
mentioned above. When I talk about mobile devices, I mean that which the
average Joseph uses. My point is, I for one would like to see
"OpenOffice Mobile" (if there's going to be one). If mobile applications
such as Quick Office can do the job effectively, I don't see why
OpenOffice can't do the same.
