Who wants TextMaker for PalmOS?

[Defiant79]

A while back there was a news-item about TextMaker coming to Palm at CliéSource. This is apperently one of the best word-processing apps on PocketPC. After that I subscribe with their newsletter. This is from the most recent one:

TextMaker, our flagship word processor, is now available for five
different platforms: Windows, Linux, Pocket PCs, Handheld PCs, and
FreeBSD.

Help us decide where to go next: Do you want to see TextMaker for
Palm, for Solaris, for Apple Macintosh etc.?

I'm not affiliated with this, so it's not intended as spam. I just want a decent alternative to the pricey DTG and Worthsmith, which lacks in some functions imo. I hope you do too.

So go and vote! OK, that might have sounded like spam :p

Really cool text processor, and I'd like to see it on PalmOS. Will go and vote :)))

I voted for it, although to be honest it's not as needed on the Palm platform since we already have DTG. What advantages to Textmaker would there be?

The synchronization of DTG is pretty bulletproof in terms of maintaining desktop formatting. Does anyone know how good Textmaker is at this? (better than Pocket Office, obviously!)

My opinion exactly, madmaxmedia!!!:D

Textmaker is more like the desktop version of Word; it can open/modify native Word documents without screwing up the formatting in the process and has many of its features. Only problems with it is that it's fairly $$$ ($50, but it is a full-fledged word processor, no conversion of files) and it's almost too much in terms of features for what I needed in a pWord replacement, and at nearly 10 MB's for the program and all necessary files, it's huge.
