Hi Marcelo,

I am in the middle of writing a tutorial for worg on using org on mobile 
devices. The short answer to your question is that there isn't really a 
pocketable device that runs emacs at the moment. Nokia's Maemo platform 
can run emacs, but I would call it pocketable.

So there are a few alternatives:

Use a device that can run ssh and ssh into one of your computer to run 
emacs in a terminal. Nokia, Android and Windows Mobile all have devices 
with ssh clients.

Use org-publish to make your files available as html or pdf. This gives 
you a read only version of your org files.

Use one of the services like reqall that can accept input via voice, 
Instant Meaaging, etc and publish it as an rss feed. You can then use 
one of the scripts available to import this into your org files.

Ian.
