One must keep in mind that though there are some desktop software
components powering the 770, it only has 64MB of RAM, and 128MB of
onboard flash, 64MB of which is free for installing extra applications
into.  So far I haven't hit the space problem, and anyone sufficiently
determined can runn stuff off of a memory card with more space, but
the RAM limitations are a definite issue to think about when
writing/porting software.  That being said, gnumeric has been ported
to the platform, but I haven't tried it, can't comment.
