The KOffice team proudly announced today that Nokia has packaged their cross-platform office suite for Maemo 5 platform and released the first public version of the office document viewer for the Nokia N900 phone.
This particularly means that KOffice is now fully compatible with the latest Maemo device but due the numerous bugs in this early Alpha stage it is only available through the Maemo Devel repository in a typical Linux’s 'release early and often' policy. Viewer also requires the latest platform version (PR1.1) so in case you still didn’t update you N900 do it as soon as possible!
Application uses a custom user interface specifically designed to fit in with the Maemo 5 style. Part of the projects goals is to help KOffice mature its loading and rendering of MSOffice documents. It is also important to point out that all contributions to KOffice have been made directly inside the KOffice subversion repository.
The Office UI developed for Maemo 5 is open sourced and if you want to contribute join project at maemo.gitorious.org to mature this application for making it end user ready and if you are interested to improve the core of the Office Engine join the KOffice community.
The KOffice supports ODF and MS Office formats. The basically means that KOffice on Maemo 5 benefits from this and hence we have the first ODF complaint Office viewer which can also handle MS Office formats.

You can open multiple files at once, open office documents from your e-mail, search in office files and copy and paste from your documents. A very nice feature is the ability to give presentations with the phone. The viewer has a simple user interface and responds quickly to user input such as page changing and scrolling.
