I was able to cross-compile emacs-nox for the N800 (emacs22.1) and run org mode on it. YOu can check the screenshots here: http://turingmachine.org/~dmg/temp/emacsOrgN800.jpg http://turingmachine.org/~dmg/temp/emacsOrgN800full.jpg (The screenshots were made running vncX11 on the nokia and connecting to it from my desktop). The first shows the stylus virtual keyboard, and the second the full screen. Depending on your eyes, you can zoom out to view up to 100 lines of text and still read it. I am not saying that running org from the N800 is a good idea, but it might be useful to have it. Also, remember that you can run subversion on it, so you can always synchronize (both ways) your org files. Given that it uses 802.11 you synchronize it without taking it out of your pocket. And you can run remember too, which is more useful to me than any of the node taking apps for the nokia. >From my preliminary evaluation it seems to work well with some caveats: * dired does not work. It reports "Listing directory failed but 'access-file''' worked. * File completion works, though * It has no support for X which means no support for the stylus as a pointer. Now, when used inside X-terminal, using the stylus: * It is surprisingly useful. If you bind some of the x-terminal shortcuts to Ctrl-, Ctrl-X, Ctrl-C, , it it makes life easier. It certainly beats any other text editor I have loaded in the n800 (ok, I haven't loaded vim :) * Xterminal has a bug and does not send ctrl-numbers, nor ctrl-special characters. That means you have to rebind things like undo. * The left keys of the nokia work as a Esc (meta), Up, Down, Left, Right. When used with a keyboard it works as you would expect it. The same applies if you ssh to the n800. Unfortunately I have no knowledge on how to create packages for others to download, once I find out, I'll post it. -- Daniel M.
