TextMaker 2006 final beta

This morning, SoftMaker announced the final beta of TextMaker 2006 for Pcket PC. The beta is open until September 30th, and beta testers will have the opportunity to purchase a reduced-price version when the product is released. I’ve never used TextMaker on the PocketPC/Windows Mobile–I’m a Palm guy through and through–but TextMaker has been one of my favorite word processors since I got a free trial of it on SuSE supplemental apps CD a while back. It’s fast, lean, and comes in production releases for the widest variety of OSes of any word processor on the market–at least any commercial word processor. At the moment, the beta is the only option I know of for viewing OpenOffice.org and OpenDoc format documents on a handheld.
