This is why N9 users still don't have any MS Office editors. N900 users have got a lot from the launch of N9 but N9 users have got almost nothing but hostility from N900 developers who refuse to even port their existing apps over.
I believe this has everything to do with the fact that Nokia did not provide enough resources to entice developers to jump onto the n9 bandwagon (limited market release/ burning platform). Also, because of the larger number of n900 handsets in use compared to the n9, the incentive to backport is worthwhile.I think patience is key here. It took almost 2 years for the apps on the n900 to get really interesting
