Ah - I forgot about all these other threads. You might be interested to subscribe/view this other thread:
http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=14821

Long story short: I now have builds for Chinook and Bora, in a closed beta test. PM me to gain access, if you promise to test them well and file bugs rather than flame me

Unfortunately you can't, because some important libraries are incompatible.

Just wondering if any one is even interested in porting a full funtional version of open office? I don't really understand what is the problem with open office. If you can run an old version of Abiword then you should be able to run a small version of Open Office

I think the reason OO is not ported because it is a memory hug java app (someone correct me on this)

If you are in the mood for experimenting, search a thread about openoffice.org where a full set of ooo packages for arm is referenced, & try them on your tablet. Might work... who knows? Beware that a bad mess of your os is quite likely so backup your data and be ready for a reflash.

Keep in mind the "old version of AbiWord" (I presume you mean 2.2.7) actually had a lot of work put into it at INdT to get it to run well. AbiWord (pre-2.6) on N800/N810 is here in a closed beta and once I've gotten the main issues out of the way into a public beta. See http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...d.php?p=142391 for more info.

@T-unit:
1) OpenOffice has *huge* memory requirements.
2) OpenOffice is difficult to compile for ARM
3) OpenOffice can *never* be made to fit into the GUI of the tablets well without rewriting most of the UI.
4) OpenOffice is a large codebase that is hard to start working on for a programmer working on it in his/her spare time.
