It has built-in support for the Stowaway folding keyboard and includes a conduit for syncing files with MS Windows. It is available now for $30.

What about MegaDoc?

As I recall, there was an attempt at a word processor by Megasoft <http://www.megasoft2000.com/> called MegaDoc. It was an ambitious, but crash-prone and very slow.

Kudoes to BlueNomad on a fantastic app, but they weren't first.

You are right. MegaDoc was a VERY valiant effort, but it was extremely bug ridden and crashed more than it worked. I found myself often uninstalling and reinstalling the app. on my Palm only to find it was corrupted again. On top of that, formatting did not convert very effectively back into Word making editing nearly fruitless.

WordSmith is the first I have seen to make it REALLY WORK and for that I give them enormous kudos! Congratulations, WordSmith - MegaDoc, lets see what you can do to top it!
