So if I pay the $10 for Docs to go, I get only a viewer. Nothing more than I have with the "free trial"?
I'm QUITE anxious to get .xls support for my N900. I have 10-20 spreadsheets that would be called Apps on another platform. I'm really feeling helpless without access to them. Even simply updating numbers on pre-fixed formulae would be useful to me.
sheets: had the same problem. i am using gnumeric in "easy debian". runs fine and fast for easy tasks.
warning: many things in easy debian don't work. e.g. sound or keyboard within the lxde-windows-manager.
(workaround when using lxde: use vncserver/viewer to access lxde)
however gnumeric runs "natively" under maemo without keyboard-problems:
enable extras-devel-repository (warning with this step you are a tester and no end-user anymore)
install easy-debian
click install-icon from easy-debian (you only have to do this once)
wait till everything is completed (downloaded !and! unpacked). this needs some time.
start easy debian chroot (comman-line-shell) and enter the following commands in courier-font.
sync debian repositories:
sudo apt-get update
install gnumeric:
sudo apt-get install gnumeric
then run:
gnumeric
known problems on german-keyboards:
- cursor up/down don't work. because you have to press a meta-key which is interpreted as "scroll window"
switching to english layout for editing should solve it. i just use return for going to next "line".
- no tab-key (for moving to next/right cell)
- small menus require the pen to open/save your work
a fast enough (on n900) open-office/winword compatible editor is
abiword (same procedure as with gnumeric)
