That looks STUNNING. How quick is it? Could that even be a viable word processor on the n8x0 series?

Well it's running on a mono webserver on-device and first load of page takes around 45 seconds to 'just-in-time' (JIT) compile it the first time that page is served up. But in theory you could start up the webserver either automatically or a menu icon could be created to launch server... then you'd just have an internet shortcut to use editor.
Kinda bulky but yes usable... its fairly responsive. Some features have maybe 1 second lags but it can keep up with typing and navigation just fine.
One of the cooler aspects is that you can browse your device from a desktop, and edit/save existing html from and to the device. So you could edit the html from desktop, click save and it will save to maemo... click 'save as' and it will download just the html to your desktop... click preview and you can view the html as a web page and print from desktop.
Probably more worth it once several web features can be included... to give you kind of your own portal
The best part about asp.net is that it targets the web which is probably the most common 'widget set' out there (as opposed to gtk or winforms or osx).

Ahh good. Everaldo would have to recompile maemo libs to include those changes though.
Mono winforms 'cheats' a little. Since it doesnt know what native widgets are available on your system (gtk listboxes, buttons, checkboxes) it paints them using the mono gdi plus library painted onto an x-window. This is very creative but the result is that it trades speed to gain portability.
On maemo, winforms overhead is very noticable. App startup for winforms is around 45 seconds. Additionally, winforms apps do not integrate with task bar, or handle full screen well, and most common dialog functionality crashes.
Still, i hope this winforms code makes it to maemo too
Would be nice to drop winforms 2.0 exe's on device and have them run without sigaborts.
