Wordsmith Review

Wordsmith is the Cadillac de-Ville, High-horsepower, go-fast, 900-pound-gorilla, Arnold Schwarzenegger, World-FREAKING-Champion word processor for Palm OS.

Period.

Formatting.
High-Resolution. Fonts.
Color Support
Memo-Pad integration.

Honestly, I don't think there's a single feature you could want from a word-processor (and several that are just icing on the cake) that Wordsmith doesn't excell at.

The Manual is too big, the features too manifold to go into detail in this little space, but, trust me - if you want to write anything longer than a memo on your Palm OS handheld, YOU NEED THIS APPLICATION.

The only drawback I can think of (for those of us with older Palms that don't have expansion slots) is that it has a HUGE footprint.

If you want the best retention of formatting to your desktop, the best Microsoft Word integration, the nicest font-formatting on your Sony Clie or Handera 330, color support,
-this is IT.

If you want a real, full-featured word processor to use with your Palm that works well with your Stowaway keyboard,
-this is IT.

I can't endorse this software too strongly. If you're in the market for a word processor, or even if you're not - even if you already have one of the others, you owe it to yourself to try a Demo version, just to see what you've been missing.
