I used Docs to Go for a couple months but I am now using Wordsmith. It takes up less memory than D2G and lets you use a ton of different fonts. I also had difficulty running D2G off the MS (with and without powerrun) but Wordsmith runs great off MS (with powerrun).
I believe both sites have the documented facts on them:)

Don't forget about QuickOffice by CESInc. www.cesinc.com
I've been a user for 2 years, it's an excellent Office app for the NX. Great integration with the desktop apps, great looking, functional, formatting of documents is preserved perfectly from NX<<==>>Desktop. Also makes a good doc viewer for ebooks.

For doing word processing on a handheld, it'd be hard to beat WordSmith. WordSmith has a ton of features over DTG, such as a spell checker and a thesaurus. Much easier to create or select fonts. Now with that being said, if you need a suite of tools, then Docs to Go is worth considering. You got my humble opinion anyway:)!

What sort of documents do you guys write on your CLIE?
For technical documents, I find it a pain to write with such small screen. The hardest thing I guess is that you can't include pictures and diagrams..

For me wordsmith has so many more features that I would use than docs to go. Especially the conversion conduit, keyboard support, and spell checker. Its going to be a lifesaver when I start taking notes at college again.

I only use DTG for viewing files. I like the look of it better.
after playing a bit powerrun does not work well with it. all you need to do is leave the documents part on the pda and move the rest to the card. then it will run fine.
