I got a HTC Magic running Android a few weeks ago. There is a free powerful
and fast ssh application called ConnectBot available in the Android
Market. ConnectBot can handle ssh keys and lets you put an icon for
frequently used connections on the desktop.

Connecting to my PC and starting emacsclient -t via a bash-alias (`ec')
takes about 5 seconds from everywhere. I think running (and working
with) a native Emacs on the phone itself (which isn't available anyway)
could never be much faster. Gnus and Org-mode are ready to go. And no
need to synchronize.

This is the solution I always dreamed of and more than once asked about
in this list. I can very much recommend Android (even if its
relationship to Google can be annoying).

For those who want to give it a try: In ConnectBot CTRL is pressing the
mouse ball once, META (ESC) is pressing it twice. TAB is twice pressing
the mouse ball and hitting SPC. To expand a tree in an org file you have
to set org-cycle to a key. Of course, you should have an internet
flatrate if you want to write your PhD thesis that way ;-).
