Am I right? I wouldn't write a book with it. But I wrote some paragraphs of articles and do my Gnus stuff via ConnectBot. It's possible. But you have to become used to the soft-keyboard. Anyway, as soon as I hear of a blutooth qwerty keyboard working with Android, small and lightweight enough (or foldable) to have it with me in my bag, I will be the first to buy it. ConnectBot is especially annoying when sitting in a train. Then, the connection uses to break down every few minutes because of tunnels or sometimes without any recognizable reason. And then working is no longer possible. But that's the only situation when I really miss a genuine Emacs port for Android. Thank god Emacs works with buffers, not files, and that we have Emacs-daemon. Otherwise one would lose all the work, when the connection breaks. Greetings, Sven
