This is the best acronym of the year so far in all of technology: mOOo.

That stands for "mobile OpenOffice.org," which is now an official project of Java.net.

According to the mOOo page:

The objective of the Project 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.

OpenOffice.org has been somewhat of a quiet step-child in the office productivity application space, sitting in the shadow of Google Docs and Microsoft Office 2007 and Microsoft Office Live. Could this be the year it takes off? It's on track for a September launch of OpenOffice.org 3.0 and, now, with mobile plans, might start winning more attention.

The integration of Java with a mobile OOo framework is interesting, in that it may make it integrate better with the Java-heavy Google Android platform than other suites. More technical details and some screen shots are here.
