*When* is someone going to make Emacs work on the N800? <grovel/> http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?p=138539 http://troubleshooter.is-a-geek.com/emacs_22.1-1_armel.deb I've been running it for almost two months. Works like a charm. OTOH, when is someone going to make LaTeX work? http://maemo.org/development/tools/ has a port of tetex-{base,bin,extra} but they are not installable for reasons that I have posted elsewhere (conflicts with busybox and fakedebconf). But I have been running Debian sid in a chroot for almost a month as per: http://maemo.org/community/wiki/debianarmel_on_it/ And I have tetex-extra installed in that. And I have ssh/chroot trampolines to make LaTeX, BibTeX, and xdvi in the chroot accessible to the standard Emacs commands. Works like a charm. The only catch is that while I have cvs installed in the chroot, I can't get trampolines for cvs to work with Emacs. That is a story for another day.

I carry my N810, my Freedom Universal bluetooth keyboard, and my Motorola RAZR2 V9m in my pocket at all times. I can write, compile, and debug code with Scheme->C (which I ported to maemo with the help of Andrei Barbu) and I can write papers and proposals about it. The only thing I use my laptop for now is to give presentations where an XGA out is needed. But since LaTeX beamer and xpdf work on the N810, if Nokia were to make a future device that had a XGA out (even with a dongle or via USB or bluetooth or SDIO) ...
