I hear you there. It would be nice if someone could port a simplified version of OpenOffice, or some other reasonably decent WP to the Maemo platform for those times when you need to edit and don't have online access. IMHO, most of the current crop of text editors that I've run across are throw backs to the way early 80s -- barely more than what some computer prof might assign as a weekend programming project for a first year student to create. A big advance would be something that comes close to the first edition of Wordpad on Windows in the early 90s, which handled rich text. There's an editor that attempts to create html text, but it's sort of inadequate, even for that, in my limited experience fooling around with it.
