I usually, like now, ssh into my server with osso-xterm for e-mail using pine or mutt, as wel as various other tasks. The xterm has become way more usable since I got a mini keyboard. I would most like to see a good contacts and calendar program with decent syncing, as many on this list, as I think that is even more important for a small laptop replacement. I have retired my palm because I see no reason to carry it and my 770. If I did that, I might as well carry the laptop. Because I do not see these apps forthcoming, and I am tired of maintaining in multiple applications/computers, I have begun the process of moving all my info to text files. I started this with the Lifehacker.com todo.txt idea[1] and have been trudging forward ever since. I have a good part of my address book in abook, and have begun keeping finances in Ledger[2]. I am using 30boxes for calendaring, but combined with a couple scripts to facilitate command-line manipulation and text-viewing.[3] Along with the migration, I've begun using subversion for both file redundancy nd replication across computers. I would love a subversion client (command line okay) for maemo. Until then, I'll be setting up rsync soon. Maybe I should have/ should still use unison. I'm not sure though. Either way, though, it seems to me mixing the two could be problematic. I guess we'll see.
