Here is a piece of news that is interesting as KOffice once again change
from becoming multi platform to migrating into the mobile architecture.

The development of KOffice on mobile devices really marks one of the OOo
lead requests of having an OOo for PDA and/or mobiles. This puts more
pressure into the project on looking at how can a project like OOo run
efficiently in a mobile environment.
In the past I have used Abiword and Gnumerics on my Nokia770 Internet
tablet. The result where less than useful. However it was good to read files
from my desktops and make tiny edits.
What happens when someone markets a phone that you can plug in a USB
keyboard and a monitor. Then you don't need a laptop or desktop unless
you are doing something specialist. For Office applications surely this
can't be far away.
this will surely happen in the next couple of years. That's why R&D
needs to address the challenges of tomorrow. I really hope mobile OOo
gets underway before it's too late. In fact it almost is.
Best regards,
Peter
