Hi folks --

I've been browsing around this site for a while, and I'm very impressed with all the smart peole in this community, and the great work that's going on bringing all sorts of new software to the tablet. I've been shopping for a pocket computer for some months, and I'm leaning towards the IT. Like a lot of people, I'm hoping I can gather enough software for it to edit any of the types of files I normally work with on my home machine:

1- Plain text -- a good editor for source code and HTML
2- Email, in some format (MBOX?) that's compatible with the home machine's email program
3- Excel spreadsheets
4- MS Word documents
5- DBF database files
6- Basic image editing (mostly JPG and GIF)
7- Basic audio file editing (optional, more of a preference than a need)
8- WYSIWYG HTML editor (also optional)

From what I've learned on the Net, there seem to be plenty of options for 1 and 2. I currently use Eudora on my home machine, but I'll switch to Thunderbird, Claws, etc. if it helps.

#3 is apparently covered by Gnumeric.

#4 -- can KOffice or Abiword handle these? Anything else?

The others, I have no leads on, but surely there's something decent available?

Thanks --
