Looking for Specific Apps - Spreadsheet - Ereader - GTD
 

Please don't shoot me as I'm not whining, just asking.....

:rolleyes:


Would like to install if possible the following if they're available for N900:

- Spreadsheet app

- ereader app - that can read commercially sold books.

Ereader app from ereader.com is available for Symbian, Linux, etc, but not for maemo....

- GTD (Task Mgmnt..)

Would be great to something beyond a simple ToDo List app, ie, an app that would allow tagging of items ala GTD system

For example, I've been using apps such as:

Mac/PC/Linux - ThinkingRock

PC - FusionDesk

Mac - TheHitList....

If any of these available, would appreciate a pointer to where I can get them....

Thanks!

Mark

how about trying easydebian for the spreadsheet and fbreader for ebooks this apps are usefull on mine

Re: Looking for Specific Apps - Spreadsheet - Ereader
 

gnumeric is already ported to maemo

Re: Looking for Specific Apps - Spreadsheet - Ereader
 

Thanks for the suggestion....

Hmmm....didn't see it in the App Manager listing, unless I just overlooked it....will look again or I guess check it online...

Meanwhile, just realized that I have OpenOffice installed, forgot about that.... :rolleyes: so, do have at least one spreadsheet option installed...


Thanks for your suggestions...I do have easydebian installed....and have fbreader installed already, just looking to see if there's some other options similar to ereader's app that allows for reading commercially bought books....

ereader.com does have Symbian and Linux versions, but no maemo version....maybe if enough of us who are interested in this option were to email ereader and request it, maybe they'd release a version for us???

Personally, I prefer formats where I can remove the DRM and use it on any platform. Do some Google Fu and you can find some of those candidates.

If you are waiting for someone to port a reader that supports DRM, I wouldn't hold your breath.

Re: Looking for Specific Apps - Spreadsheet - Ereader
 

I agree with you and that's why I do have fbreader installe...

However, I do have a bunch of books that I purchased some time ago that would be nice to have option to read on N900...



Thanks....

I'm not....

I fully realize that it would take A LOT of emails to vendors in order to get them to port something...

Thanks...

UPDATE

Just edited first post to include request for any good task management apps ala ThinkingRock, Things, TheHitList, OmniFocus, FusionDesk, etc, that let you do more than a simple ToDo list and more of a GTD approach; tagging, contexts, etc...

Any suggestions?

I didn't find it for the N900 either. Used it on my N800, though. Is it really ported?

Re: Looking for Specific Apps - Spreadsheet - Ereader
 

gnumeric is the best for spreadsheets. yes it is ported to n900

Re: Looking for Specific Apps - Spreadsheet - Ereader
 

I found it. The thread above goes through the more painful install via root. It's also available through the N900 applications install menu when you activate the maemo-devel catalogue.
Unfortunately, when you search the "Downloads" or the base areas of maemo.org for Gnumeric, you get nothing. Wish projects in -devel, -testing, etc at least showed up so you'd know they were in the works!

Re: Looking for Specific Apps - Spreadsheet - Ereader - GTD
 

I installed the GarnetVM (Palm Emulator) just to use the ereader program for my purchased books (some going all the way back to Peanut Press days). I haven't seen how well MobiPocket Reader worked but it did install.

There are several Garnet threads in the Alternatives thread. I've had success with about half of my Palm apps, most of which were from my Visor and TRGPro days. Maybe one of the GTD apps would work for you on that?
