How would these two things match? The new smartphones have a qwerty keyboard (see blackbery, and palm treo). I don't know how fast you can be, but it's about bringing our favorite working enviroment to our pocket since most of us have everything inside emacs (mail, org, text editor, etc). At least thats what I feel the need for, an emacs to go :P Cheers, Cezar ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

How would these two things match? I don't think that most people would choose to run Emacs on a PDA (phone) if they had a desktop/laptop available. The scenario where Emacs on a phone seems attractive is when your only options are Emacs on your phone or writing on your hand. As someone who's used Emacs on a HTC Mogul though[1], I completely agree with your point. Generally PDAs/phones don't make very good Emacs devices, not so much because typing on their keyboards is slow, but because almost all physical phone keyboards (excluding external keyboards) lack Control and Meta keys. As you can imagine, Emacs without Control or Meta is not very useful or fun.
