I use NoteCase all the time -- on the N800. It's the best note-keeping program I have found so far. it isn't "read only." It allows RTF. The N800 soft keyboards work normally.
I keep the list (tree) of items on so that I can quickly access my random notes. Accessing a note takes <0.1 sec. I use it for storing/encrypting passwords, storing random lists or bits of information and for accessing business card scans. It exports to txt or html.
And it really says "read only" on the author's site, in the "news" section, where it mentions the N800 release. BTW, I downloaded the 1.7.2 version, which is mainly the reason why I got angry. A release with that version number should "just work". Period.

Does this program work with RTF files? At bare minimum, what I need is a program where I can read, write and edit RTF files.
So, in essence it doesn't, and you are probably better off with summat like Abiword.
Oh for the word processor on my old Psion 5mx.

i can confirm notecase to be working perfectly for me, too! Did you create a first node? i.e. open a menu and choose new node, then start typing...
My treelist is fully populated and i use it both on my desktop and my 770, OS2007HE. And IMHO the 1.7.2 version 'just works', as 1.6.9 did

There is a patch for AbiWord for Maemo Chinook (2008). I have yet to test it to see if it works well - there are some modifications to it to be made before an official release. Hopefully I will have some free time soon to poke at this - I am getting an N810 as soon as I can use my maemo device code, so that should help in the testing.

Has anyone got Notecase or Abiword to work on os 2008 yet?
