Hello list,

org-mode really changed my life, and allowed me to fully implement GTD the
way I wanted. However, I miss having access to it everytime, so, I'm looking
for a mobile device that could run emacs and org, and that I could keep in
sync with my laptop.

What do you think?

Any suggestions appreciated,

Marcelo.

There have been many discussions of this topic in the past. I would
recommend searching the gmane archives for iPhone, Nokia N810, Android,
portable, etc.

http://news.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode

If I had money to burn[1] and needed a mobile device, I would wait for
the Nokia N900, which is both a smartphone and a hackable Linux pocket
computer. There are Emacs packages that run on its predecessor, the
N810.

Best,
Matt

[Delwood Richardson]

I am using org-mode on a N800 (or N810). It works pretty well in reverse-video
mode with emacs 22. Here is the link to the Emacs for maemo site:

http://danielsz.freeshell.org/code/mine/emacs-for-maemo/index.shtml

And one can easily sync writing with unison on the N800. The N900 looks great,
but until the price comes down the N800 and N810 are a great deal. They are
small enough to replace a Moleskine notebook and work with a folding bluetooth
keyboard like the iGo to give a truely protable org experience.

I took the easy way out - I got myself a Eee PC 1000HE which has a
reported 9 hour battery runtime in Windows.  I get 7+ hours in Linux and
it's a full PC with an 85% keyboard.  It's great for my purposes and it
runs full emacs and org-mode.

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.

Thank you all for the replies!

I will look into Nokia N810, thanks for the tip. A netbook such as Eee PC
might be a pocket-enough experience, even though not the scenario I would
call ideal, but might work well :)

@Ian: Great tips! Looking forward to reading your tutorial on m-org, would
you mind warning us in the list when it's available?

Thanks,

Marcelo.

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 assumed you meant to say "not pocketable" and, if so, I guess it
depends on what kind of pockets!  My N810 fits in the pocket of any of
my jackets or coats and does in fact fit in my trouser pockets but the
latter is not necessarily ideal...

Few days ago the Nokia N900 (the successor of the N810) was released [1].
Although it is a little bit pricey, I am definitely looking forward to buy
one see Emacs + Org-Mode running on one of those things. Check it out [2].

This is the as "PocketEmacs" you can get :-). I wonder what other wonderful
ways of using Org can be developed if "Mobility" is added to the equation
:-).

Re: Re: Mobile org

[[AvataR]]

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 ...

Hi Marcelo,
           check the CategoryPorts page on the emacswiki:
           http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CategoryPorts

           Personally I use emacs on my android phone, which includes a
           Debian installation, see here:

           http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsOnAndroid 

           I use the android scripting environment to access android
           programs from emacs. This allows me to make phone calls/send
           text messages with BBDB in emacs, while I can still use the
           useful gui stuff in android such as maps, web-browsing,
           bar-code scanner etc. 

           I believe android is the way to go since it is open source
           and hackable, while also having a large repertoire of cool
           and useful apps.

           The only drawback is that the initial setup is quite
           complicated and time-consuming. You need to be fairly
           technically minded.

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
