TextMaker for PalmOS?

Jeff Kirvin · Post by **Jeff Kirvin** » Tue Nov 25, 2003 10:59 pm

So when can we expect the first PalmOS beta? TextMaker would look so much better on a Tungsten T3 at 320x480 than it looks on any Pocket PC...

Lack of TextMaker for the Palm is one of the things that I keep my Toshiba e755 for. Sure would like to see at least a beta sometime in the near future.

Jeff: Great to see you around here...

Priority #1 right now is to get PlanMaker out of the door. We are working on TextMaker for Palm in parallel, but we'll be able to put more developers on the project as soon as PlanMaker is released.

You are right, the T3 is one gorgeous machine. It's actually the first Palm device I'd consider purchasing for me personally.

That's great news, Martin! Once there's a version of TextMaker for the Palm, I will be able to sell my e755. I am using my T3 for everything _except_ most of my writing. I need the power of TextMaker on my T3!

That's what we are aiming for. I played with the latest Documents To Go on a T3 yesterday and was severely underwhelmed...

Will it work with Tungsten T, even though it has lower memory and processing speed?

Current minimum requirements are ARM CPU, Palm OS 5, and at least 320*320 resolution. We intend to keep it that way, if at all possible.

The fastest selling Palm device on the market today is the Treo 600. Unfortunately, for its small form factor it only has a 160x160 screen. I think Softmaker should strive to create a version of this software that will run in the lower resolution as well. This is a huge market, and with people receiving email word attachments, and no build in MS Word software on the Treo 600, this is a million unit target market for softmaker over the next 12 months.

Hello.
I recently purchased a Palm Tungsten T3, and coming from a Psion 5mx I became fast disappointed about poor Palm OS and poor soft on this platform. Docs To GO, being the "most advanced" word processor for Palm seems very pathetic, lacking most of issues one could expect on a word processor. First, one can NEVER work with real page format, margins and so on, everything is limited to the little Palm screen, one can never see the real format the page has. Options are quite limited, and habilities like inserting graphics are absolutelly missing.

So, when I saw Textmaker my eyes glowed!.

I beg, please, release this for Palm OS 5 and make use of nice T3 screen and this can become a number one hero on Palm, since there is nothing simmilar by now.

And release this in Spanish and other languages, please. If your company needs help translating from English to Spanish, you have mine, I am yours if you need this.

Is the Palm OS version of Textmaker going to be named Textmaker 2004? I mean, would it include the improvements over 2002 version?

Hello!.

This topic seems DEAD.

Will textmaker really see light for Tungsten T3 or Palm OS 5, or were just a pair of words you drop here?

Come on!, my TT3 NEEDS a REAL wordprocessor like this and not the shit Docs to Go!....Pleeeeeeease

Go, Go, Textmaker for Palm!!!!

Well, there will be a version for PalmOS 5, but this will take some time to develop, so stay tuned.

Due to the beta of PlanMaker for Windows (and for Linux and Pocket PCs soon) our developers are working on these programs. After this they can spend some time on developing TextMaker for the PalmOS 5 again.

How Goes, Tobias?

Any news so far?

Text processors on Palm are so repugnant and basic I went back to my old Psion 5mx in order to have a decent document management and not format destructive sync. Hope this will change with Textmaker for PalmOS.

That means you won't support the Treo 600, bad mistake
