+1 on this. I had almost decided on the Motorola Milestone (Droid) but
would love to hear others experiences. Using org-mode in a term emacs is
not ideal because a lot of shift/arrow/fn chords dont work in the terminals
I tried (xterm, urxvt etc) and so doubt they will on a mobile device
either : so my hard core usage of only emacs -nw inside urxvt and tmux
soon dwindled and I'm back to using emacs in X. The only problem I now
have is not being to find a way to use ONE x frame with emacsclient
being able to create it if its not already done (I bet I've missed
something obvious but emacsclient -c always creates a new frame and
emacsclient wont create it if its not already there on my emacs).
