Are you guys sure there is a *real* need for those types of apps on the 770? Is anybody seriously going to write multiple page documents on it or use it for advanced Excel-type graphing?
I don't really think so. My guess is that 98% of all 770 owners also own at least one laptop. I guess you could construct a case where you would want to edit a spreadsheet and didn't have your laptop around ... but hey, in real life, the small size of the 770 will always prevent it from being an alternative to laptop.
It is excellent as a document reader, so I could see a point in having a Word- and Excel Viewer. But office-style editing on it will never take off. Windows CE tried to push that concept to compete with the Palm Pilot, but it was stillborn and still is. I'd take an Office suite if someone would give it to me for free, but it does not provide any real value. Just because it can be done does not mean that it should be done.
What we need instead is
Better flash support
Skype
wma and realaudio .smil support
