I'm waiting for a real release of a complete (allowing editing) release of an office suite (documents, spreadsheets, presentations). Who will win the run, the much announced but still unseen koffice, the "bloated" but complete openoffice, the already ported on previous tablet abiworld+gnumeric, or a commercial software as dataviz docstogo or quickoffice?

I believe all of them are in development, and don't be surprised if Microsoft Office makes an appearance, either. I'd be willing to bet Dataviz wins out. But they're all waiting on DRM for license handling. I'm sure they're all ready.

I'm confused about Easy Debian. Is it in the repositories? I saw something about Debian chroot and something else, but wasn't sure of its functionality. Qole!! Come tell us about your great creation.

It runs a bit slow on a N8x0, but it runs, let's remember a N8x0 has approximately the processing power of a Pentium II.
Due to the UI changes in Maemo 5, ED is not fully ready for the N900, but I think Qole is working on that.

I thought I had read that KOffice was fully baked for Maemo 5. Certainly DRM can't be used as an excuse to delay its release. Did I miss something and it's a viewer only?

Not KOffice, but Dataviz. Since its a paid app, they only have read only until either Nokia licenses the full app or they get DRM so we can buy it.

Can´t they just use some code on the device mac address or imei to generate a unlock code for the office application?
Do they need to disclose the code if they don´t want to? Isn´t partially open source and partially not fine?
There´s no DRM on my PC applications. I can copy installation files back and forth and then just enter license codes. Why do I need one for my phone ones? I seriously don´t understand all this DRM wanking with mobile apps.
