TextMaker for Handheld PCs
"The list of features
included in TextMaker is far greater than those covered in this
review. Quite simply, there are too many to list.
That, plus the ease-of-use
of TextMaker makes it a Pocket Word replacement,
not just an alternative."
"TextMaker should be on every
Handheld PC user's short list of software to buy."
Clinton Fitch
...
"If you're a serious Handheld user and you are
frustrated with the Word application on your Handheld, then TextMaker
is a must have,
and is an essential program for all Handheld users."
Handheld Addict
...
"Conclusion:
TextMaker is 'The Missing Link'
of our great device and contribute to make Handheld PCs a real
independent machine. This application offers a compatibility with
Word documents which is really missing with PocketWord.
This is an essential
piece of software.

PlanMaker for Handheld PCs
"The shortcomings of the Microsoft embedded
Office applications are painfully evident. Offering all of the
features of Microsoft Excel for the desktop, PlanMaker turns a
Handheld PC into a fully functional extension of the desktop. What
sets PlanMaker apart from any of its competitors is the plethora of
features and customization that can be done within the application."

"The first alternative to Pocket Excel,
PlanMaker, is a handheld spreadsheet application like no other.
PlanMaker incorporates a feature list that would look impressive for
a desktop spreadsheet application, and on a
PDA is nothing short of staggering. All the
features most obviously missing from Pocket Excel are there:
graphing, spell checking, templates, and so on. Even more impressive
is the array of advanced features you'd
probably never expect to see on a handheld."
Palmtop User Magazine
...
"My God, this is very impressive
[...] This review will be more of an overview, else a book will be
necessary to describe all the functionalities of PlanMaker [...]
PlanMaker is a "spread" that can be devoured without
moderation. Like TextMaker, it contributes to being more independent
of your desktop PC and offers great compatibility with Excel
documents. 5 "J"s out of 5* –
what to say more..."

More quotes (Windows and Linux)
"The enormous feature-richness at minimal
hardware requirements speaks for PlanMaker as an Excel alternative."
PC Professionell
...
"PlanMaker provides Excel feeling –
without the bloat and at a fair price."
PC-Direkt
...
"You won't find a more Excel-compatible
spreadsheet on any operating system, but Microsoft compatibility is
far from PlanMaker's only worthwhile feature.
PlanMaker is both smaller in size and faster to start
than most of the other spreadsheet applications I've used. One
particularly data-heavy test case with a single large chart took only
10 seconds to load, while the same worksheet took more
than a minute to load in StarOffice 7 Calc.
Compatibility with other programs is where PlanMaker
really shines. SoftMaker has a page detailing its Excel compatibility
features. While you have to take a manufacturer's propaganda with a
grain of salt, my own analysis of the test cases shows them to be
completely accurate and as-advertised."
