Metro

There is a wonderful app on Palm: Metro. Unfortunately it is only free beer, and apparently they intend to stay so as they explicitly say to not ask the source. Too bad. Anyone thinking reimplementing this as Open Source, eventually reusing their datafiles (I mean supporting their data format so that one can use them) ? The Nokia 770 would be a perfect target.

BTW, I installed Stuttgart metro file for tomorrow.

GNOME powered Linux device by Nokia

Nokia released the Nokia 770, a tablet PC based on Linux, GNOME and GStreamer. The software platform is called Maemo and is Open Source Software (but with a few exceptions).

I am wondering the opportunity of "porting" AbiWord to it.

BTW, it is not a phone.

Update: this has already been done with the Maemo Word Processor
