mOOo: The Mobile OpenOffice.org

mOOo…

I am not calling a cow but mOOo for mobile OpenOffice.org.

Yes - mOOo…

mOOo is a project from Java.net Development which is under mobile and embedded category. Mobile OpenOffice.org…

is to create a set of tools that make the user able to create/update ODF documents in mobile devices such as cell phones and PDA’s and also interact with the OpenOffice.org suite through these devices. All will be done using Java SE and mainly Java ME platform.

Currently, they released their first tool called mOOo Impress Controller which allows users controls slide presentations in OOo (OpenOffice.org) Impress. It is composed of a Java ME application (mobile) and a Java SE Add-On (desktop).

The user can switch slides (next and previous) while a timer (used for presentation controlling) is displayed on the screen. It uses Bluetooth for Computer-Device communication with Project Marge and UNO API for OOo integration.

For more technical details, downloads and screenshots about this tool, please click here. For future projects, they will be developing the following:

• mOOo Calc: Java ME application that allows to edit spreadsheets rows/columns and also create new ones in mobile devices;
• mOOo Writer: Java ME application that allows to read ODF text document and also edit/create new ones in mobile devices.
