I'm in for $100. Here's what I want:

1) I don't care very much about word/excel _file_formats_. Open Document is good enough for me. If it does that, and not MS file formats, I'll still pay.

2) Word Processor

3) Spread Sheet

4) Presentation Graphics

5) Paint

6) Draw

7) Calendar & Todo

8) (since Outlook is part of MS Office) Better IMAP client, pref. one which allows me to say "just show me my server folders that have unread messages" and "just show me my server folders that I've marked as favorites". Oh, and, it should let me have the Inbox, Sent, and Trash folders be my server side folders instead of local folders. Ultimately, this one is optional, though.

9) Sync calendar with Google Calendar and/or Thunderbird/Sunbird

10) Sync contacts with Thunderbird (and Gmail if they ever open that part of their API) (even you skip #8, I still think this one is necessary to the productivity that an office suite implies)

11) Sync bookmarks with Netvouz (add others if you want, but after considering Google and Delicious, I decided on Netvouz) (optional, but I'd really like it)

12) has to run on Chinook, so I'm ok on waiting for that (not that I expect anyone to deliver before the middle of next month).

I'll even go an extra $50 if the package can run on a plain Ubuntu desktop as well as Hildon.

And another $50 if the end solution runs on the Mac. (I haven't decided yet if I'm going to jump from the Mac to Ubuntu... )

And if it runs on Windows and/or can sync with CommuniGate Pro's calendar and contacts ... I wont pay more, but the university where I work might. :-}

I'm fine with a port of Koffice, as long as it doesn't require KDE (on the tablet, nor on the desktop (for the Ubuntu and Mac bonuses)). In fact, a port of Koffice, with a minimo version of Thunderbird, would probably be just about ideal.
