WA! It rocks!
Another thing I want to know about it is the speed
what is the speed of running application?
does it support openoffice?
if so, what is the time to start it?
(i want to use this to compare the speed with pdaxrom)
Also, can i run qt application in this rom?

Another question, do i need to complie the application myself?
or there is/will be a feed?

and i forgot a thing in the previous post
congrat to get a board here:)

For X11 apps, tolerable. I have xfig, konqeuror-embedded, dia. etc installed.
I am usually at the console running screen, mutt, vi, elinks, cplay, etc.

No. I personally use antiword to view word docs, and abiword to edit them, for
my reports and documents i use LaTeX,.
No solutions for xls files(gnumeric is a pig, ;))
I use magicpoint for my presentations.

Good luck, even on the i386, a smooth running OpenOffice uses linux emulation.

QT, as in native zaurus apps? No, AFAIK there is no linux emulation in
openbsd-arm.

No, there are prebuilt binaries and packages, see previous posts for URL.
