This is the answer I got from the Softmaker rep:

" Hello,

" well, we do support linux, however our software needs the x86 libraries, so it
" doesn't run on this device. Additionally the demand for a version for this
" device is very small, so porting would be very expensive for us.

As I have no idea of the 770 installed base or about the actual difficulty of changing libraries, I could only reply this:

" OK, thanks. I guess I'll have to resort to Abiword and Gnumeric then. I do hope
" I won't start liking them too much, or I might forego on Softmaker applications
" alltogether.

" Best regards,


Actually, the above was the second answer I got from them. The first one was, quite predictable, that they don't support smartphones. It took another mail with explicit links to convince them that the Nokia 770 was not a phone. It seems Nokia made a commercial booboo by not adding something explicitely non-phoneischly to their model name; "770" really is not enough to tell people that this is not a cellphone.
