For Org-mode on the go?

For Org-mode on the go?

[Tim O'Callaghan]

Just though I'd point out the NanoNote a $99 Linux Palmtop, that
should run Emacs.

"The 本 version of NanoNote is an ultra small form factor computing
device. The device sports a 336 MHz processor, 2GB of flash memory,
microSD slot, head phone jack, USB device and 850mAh Li-ion battery.
It boots Linux out of the box and also boots over USB. It’s targeted
squarely at developers who see the promise of open hardware and want
to roll their own end user experience. It’s the perfect companion for
open content; we envision developers turning the device into a music
or video player for Ogg or an offline Wikipedia or MIT OpenCourseWare
appliance. Or you can simply amaze your friends by creating an ultra
small handheld notebook computer. You choose the distribution. The 本
Nanonote is the first in a line of products that will see the addition
of other hardware capabilities. Get your NanoNote and start a
Nanoproject today. Or join one of the existing projects in our
developer community."

Planning on getting one to see...

Looks very cool, especially at the price.  But the spacebar.  Yikes
it's small.

At least it has all the meta-keys and TAB, which make it nicer than
most other pocket keyboards for running Emacs.

Do report.

Out of curiosity, do you know of anyone who has ported Emacs for use on
the device? Last I heard, the NanoNote ran OpenWrt, which AFAICT has no
Emacs package. 

From the wiki:

,----
|  editor
| 
|     * vim
|     * joe
|     * zile like emacs. 
`----

Looks like a complete debian would work, and emacs explicitly mentioned.

I would be careful about that.
The price is nice but the question is how well the hardware works with a 
real open standard linux system.
I have an zaurus from sharp, which comes close to the nanonote. However, 
if I not go to use one of the heavy patched 2.4 kernels from sharp, 
suspend and resume is not working and the device hangs up.
That makes it rather useless since I don't want to power on and shutdown 
the device to add a note to org-mode and the 2.4 linux branch from sharp 
does not contain emacs.
Furtermore, I own a ebook-reader from a chinese manufacture and looking 
at the linux OS showed me that they really mess up many many things to 
bend it to working. Guess they are not really taking care of standards 
or of further user-based upgrades.

Thus, my suggestion please find out how well the hardware runs on 
GNU/Linux standard kernels and distributions (e.g., debian). If you know 
please report :D

Just my experience from some own "org-mode on the go" experiments.

Bye
Totti
