MS Office Mobile might not interest a lot of the long-term Maemo users here, but it is the only significant reason why anybody would buy a Windows Mobile device instead.

I use Outlook and OneNote everyday - enough to be tempted by a otherwise crappy WM phone. Having full support on Maemo would be excellent. Word and Excel would also be very nice.

I see that there are plans for MS Office Mobile on Symbian.

I was wondering if anybody had any further news about this? Is it likely that this would extend to Maemo anytime soon?

Full Outlook/Exchange support would be the thing that I want most on the N900, and I am sure that there would be thousands of others that would want this too.

* There are going to be web based versions of Word, Excel, Powerpoint and OneNote 2010, but I am not sure how well they will work on the N900 without Silverlight and whatever else they would need. There is also no Outlook 2010 web version planned.
