SiED was a very popular text editor for Palm OS handhelds(stay tuned for our tejpWriter review, coming soon) a few months ago-and then, suddenly, its developer Ben Roe decided to stop development. However, the following post just appeared on his blog:

OK, the current nightly build is good enough for release as a beta. This is actually beta 5, by my counting. I would be particularly interested in feedback on how this works on HiRes+ devices: it seems to work fine in the simulator, anyway.

Known bugs: International keyboard is all broken (character encoding issue), opening and closing the grafitti with a split screen can cause the split to jump around and you can’t record macros with alt-key characters on the Treo.

So, it may look as if development may go on soon!

Thanks to all readers who sent this in!
