I'm also using org-mode on an N810 (with emacs 22).  Ideal!  org-mode
is perfectly fast enough, especially after the optimisations done to
it earlier this year and having it run on a computer that fits in my
pocket is exactly what I needed for keeping on top of things.

There are a slew of machines supposedly (?) coming out in the near
future with 5" screens, many running Linux, which should support
org-mode very well indeed.

I have emacs-23 on n810, tuned for rather quick start with dumps,
cleaning and other stuff :) Not
perfect, because of absent of normal virtual keyboard, and LOooOOoww
memory (emacs-server get about 6-7%), but usable. Also emacs requires some
tuning for using on RX-44 keyboard (M-x -> M-+, wmctrl, etc), and with
org. I sync my stations with mercurial. I think we must write simple
client for org-db for opensync, or something in that way - normally
emacs on portable devices works quite sloow. Or maybe we can do
clear emacs-org application? (%

Where did you install emacs 23 from?  I'm using my N810 specifically
for org-mode (my carry around diary and note taking device) but am
using emacs 22.

I use git instead of mercurial but would like mercurial.  Where did
you get this from for the N810?

I'm not sure what you mean by this.  Given the ability to easily sync
using hg/git, what do you need here?

Ooh, very nice!  Would *love* to hear how you got emacs 23 on there,
and more details on the tuning and tweaks you did ...

Re: Re: Mobile org

[David A. Gershman]

This is (currently) my personal solution for exactly what you're
describing. 

I recently bought an iPod (not iPhone).  On it I put MobileOrg (not the
Android version).  My process is to work with my .org files on a
thumbdrive (this allows portability) and even have emacs for windows on
the same thumbdrive (all my *nix machines already have emacs).  My
.emacs file is even kept on the thumbdrive.  This keeps my
"authoritative" .org files on the thumb drive and even on a TrueCrypt
volume for security (also portable).  Nice, safe and private.

Next, I have a WebDav account online where I can then "publish" my .org
files and have them sync'd with MobileOrg on the iPod.  Works
beautifully.  CATCH: the WebDav account I'm using is on my own personal
server I have on the internet.  I work very hard to secure my server and
there are no other admins.  So I'm pretty comfortable with my .org files
residing on it.  However, there are public, free WebDav servers out
there you can use also.

I've also been able to get my Agenda events into the iPod's calendar app
via Chandler tools.  I'll spare everyone the details unless asked.

Good Luck!

I am working with Richard on an encryption solution, so that the files  
on the server will be encrypted.
