I just got this today and I'm in heaven!! Well, sort of. This is the answer to all my word processing needs on a palm computer! All I ever wanted was to be able to produce FORMATTED documents using RTF and now I can. I can even sync with Word!! WOO HOO! I thought MegaDoc was cool, but this puts it to shame.

So the downside? Real buggy so far. I haven't created any new documents yet, but I have tried to edit and convert old documents only to be bombarded with fatal exceptions and restarts galore. It could be due to the excessive amount of hacks on my system or just me being stupid - I haven't played with it enough to know which yet. But the concept and the application are there and that is the coolest part. Finally I can do italics, underlining, font size by *pixel*, and TONS more!! Finally a word processor worth using!

Thanks! Please email your bug reports to beta@bluenomad.com... the problems could very well be due to the hacks or low memory... we are working on optimizing use of memory and that should help a bunch!
