I haven't gotten here yet with org-mode, but I understand they're pretty powerful -- and HTML is perfect for the iPhone. A robust HTML interface to your org-mode would be much more useful than a native iPhone app, IMHO, and without the landmines of interfacing with iCal et.al. My previous organization system (Python-based) had a simple CGI interface to parse my sources into HTML with CSS for the iPhone; it worked surprisingly well, including hyperlinks that sent me email noting that I'd "checked off" an item -- I didn't trust myself to actually change state from the iPhone, but sent a "check off the item manually" reminder. Once I've got my Emacs-native org-mode where I want it, I plan on tackling the iPhone display and sharing my code with the list. It should be pretty easy to write a mod_python handler to pull org-mode source from Git or Subversion and run that through the elisp interpreter... But seriously, you could totally expose your agenda view as an IMAP store... -- Christopher DeMarco IT Director MAYA Group +1-412-708-9660
