There have already been pocket versions of word, etc since the early PocketPC days, so it makes sense that they would have something to work with.

I've always thought that OOo was an acronym for BLOAT.

SoftMaker's Office might be a future (but closed) alternative, since they currently support Windows, Pocket PCs, Windows CE, and Linux X86. They had a 2002 version of their word processor that was respectable on the Sharp Zaurus. So if they thought there was a reasonable market they could probably be convinced to jump in.

Edit: Oh well ... Just saw the larger thread in Off-Topic after replying to this thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=30756

Threads should probably be merged and maybe become General if it looks like maemo is a candidate application for the alliance.
