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.
