Thanks for these links.

After some search and experimenting with emacs maemo packages, I was a
bit frustrated, all being quite old, and some problems not well
documented, as on how to use some virtual keyboard apps, etc.

I finally noticed some "Easy Debian" [0] mentions in some forum posts, and
it seems this may offer an interesting solution to run Debian packages
of recent emacs and org-mode (and even git for sync-ing my notes) over
the n800 maemo system (chrooted). I'm testing / tuning it at the moment.

Hope this will be a good mobile org-mode device setup.

Best regards,
