I don't know about the N900, but AbiWord on the N800 has no problem opening .doc and .docx files. And the PDF reader works fine. I'm assuming that all this kind of office stuff has been ported and tested properly for the N900...but the problem is that Nokia still thinks it's a phone or a tablet: they still haven't fully grokked the concept of a portable computer (and they are criticised for this in today's _Irish Times_: "But as Apple and Android are transforming pocket computing, Nokia will need a lot more innovation to succeed." http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/magazine/2009/1212/1224260331363.html). I'd love to see the N900 a success, but there's not a lot I can do to help: I'm not a programmer these days, and I can't write documentation until I can afford to buy one. ///Peter _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
