"Once Abiword is available...." How long have I been hearing that on the ITT forum? (First it was going to be for OS2007, and now for OS2008.) I'd love to see it happen, because offline word processing with a bluetooth keyboard is a major reason I bought the N800 in the first place. Writing stuff (using a huge font for readability) with the bundled Notes program is okay, but pretty limited. Installing KDE, etc. is for supernerd Linux jockeys only. The long-promised but non-existent Abiword would be great, but I've stopped holiding my breath.

It's easy for me to gripe, because I'm not a developer slaving over a hot Chinook, but where the heck IS Abiword for Maemo/OS2008? Is anybody really working on porting it for us? Lacking any reassuring answers after lo these many months, I nominate it as the format's leading vaporware no-show.... and I'll joyfully eat those words the moment it actually appears, since I use Abiword all the time in Xubuntu and love it.
