Hi!
POW= Project Of the Week.
For getting AbiWord on a handheld, i've been getting this idea in my
head a few times, since pretty soon 'qPAQ' (name not 100% yet)
(http://www.qnxzone.com/ipaq/) are to be released.
Would be really cool to have a abi-handheld or such. with same platform
compability, so we could get same word-processor on all handheld
platforms (if palm starts using beos....).
This would be stripped down version of abi, but with extra features
like 'popup' auto-word completion and such.
Havn't done much thinking, but i'd really love to see this.
