Re: Touch screen failing what to do with my n810?

Well, you could tether a keyboard / mouse over bluetooth ;)

(Or get a USB female A to female A adapter and use the device's USB port as a host port. Same effect).

Re: ABIWORD for maemo

I've downloaded Abiword on regular Maemo before. Sadly, that was a while ago. (Only removed it due to lack of space; it worked really well). I believe it is in the extras-devel repository... Gnumeric...
