Hi,
I recently ran across this comment in the org-mode survey:

I'm on the lookout for a cell phone that runs Emacs, but… I haven't > found any mechanisms for remotely adding/editing timestamps, > changing the state of TODO items, etc. Neither have I found a way
> to
trigger reminder sounds, e-mails, phone calls, or IM messages. > I'm
not sure about the best way to approach "mobile org-mode"… > A
web-interface like Webjimbo? More robust import/export/sync to > iCal
or GData? If we can find a way to usefully sync org-mode with > mobile
devices, it'll be just about perfect.
After reading that comment, I wrote cellphone.el that makes it possible to actually do stuff in emacs on your cell phone. I have a cell phone with a ssh app, a (very) small qwerty keyboard and left/right arrow keys, but since there's no Ctrl or Alt keys, working in Emacs is a pain (every time you need the Ctrl key, you need to go through a menu). cellphone.el works by setting up several "cellphone keymaps". Each cellphone keymap binds the letter keys a-z to commands of your choice. An "orgmode" keymap is included as an example. You can easily select the keymap with left/right arrow keys.
Please let me know your opinion about the script, as well as any tips of getting more productive with orgmode on your cell phone.
