Emacs on the Nokia N900

Emacs on the Nokia N900

[Cecil Westerhof]

I just bought a Nokia N900. I was wondering if it would be possible to
install Emacs on it?

It is.  At least we have received reports that the Emacs-23.2 pretest
builds fine on N900.

E23 is happily running on my N900. Google for "emacs n900" and use the
first result....

Best wishes,

Looks interesting. I have only one problem. How do I know it can be
trusted? I do not know this site, so I do not know if there are 'hidden
treasures' in the code. This is of course also possible with the regular
installs, but more unlikely and will come to the surface sooner.

Yes the first Google result (as indicated by someone else) works
perfectly for me, it's great for some lightweight hacking on the tube/
metro/bus etc.  I haven't yet settled on a decent way to enter <
{ [  ` and various other symbols I need (that Emacs build doesn't
allow you to use the standard extended keyboard with the blue arrow +
ctrl), but I've tried a few different ways.  Any suggestions?  I've
been able to sample the accelerometer from Emacs Lisp (it's just
reading a file), but coming up with an algorithm for recognising
different shakes/gestures so that I can bind them to Emacs functions
is proving difficult :-)
