-A way to enjoy the rest of the multimedia world (most based on WMedia) that today is impossible to see/hear in a easy way (tv channels, radios, etc) (pse donīt tell me about ORB or TVersity)
-A calendar utility that can be used offline (again, pse don’t tell me about google calendar)
Re (a), on my N800, Gnumeric does ok with most excel spreadsheets. So does Abiword (an ancient version 2.2.7 installed with supplementary converters). For powerpoint files, I do not know... other than using one of the online conversion services to turn them into .pdf files.

Re (c), GPE calendar does ok for some folks, and with Erminig you are supposed to be able to sync with your Google Calendar.
