SoftMaker is releasing a free public beta of their office suite for Linux. Downloads are available in .deb, .rpm and .tgz formats here. I've reviewed the Windows Mobile version here, and since I've been using OpenOffice in Ubuntu for a while (with varying degrees of success), I was wondering how it stacks up?

Listening to or watching podcasts is great fun. If you think they are boring, meaningless or can’t entertain you during, say, a long fight, you’re wrong.

Fitaly 5 SIP Review...

Nate Adcock — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 17:49:53 -0500

I've reviewed a number of new software input methods this year for Windows Mobile touchscreen devices. They have all generally used the standard qwerty layout that would be found on a hardware keyboard. Fitaly throws you for a loop because it uses a non-querty layout, and incidently the name is derived from the arrangement of letters on the keyboard (just like querty). The fitaly layout was designed in the nineties for pencomputers, when Jean Ichbiah thought that writing with a stylus required a different type of keyboard.

"The efficiency of the Fitaly on-screen keyboard lies in its layout and its enhanced features. Most people think 10 fingers are necessary to do extensive texting. Fitaly allows 10-finger speed with a single pointer. As one user puts it: “Simply nothing better. I’ve tried many different input programs and fitaly stands out well above the rest."

Many a Windows Mobile power user (including me) will insist all kinds of wild stuff about how you can replace your laptop with the built-in programs in Windows Mobile. The sad truth is, well, NOT! For one, the fancy formatting in your desktop documents may not translate well to your device when opened in the built-in pocket office apps. You need something with seriously more power and features on the device-side. SoftMaker has the answer with it's most excellent Office suite.
