[Ipodlinux-devel] Emacs on iPod?

[Joe C. <jco...@ma...>]

Hi -- 

I wonder if anyone has tried to build Emacs for iPod. I am only
mildly interested in buying an iPod for listening to music, but if I
could could use it to write notes, I would be very, very interested.
I think that iPod plus a Kinesis keyboard would be a very
light-weight, ergonomic, and generally wonderful computer.

PS. Xmodmap would be a real plus too.

Maybe the best way to get keyboard data to the iPod is to wait for a
Bluetooth add-on, then communicate to the iPod using one of the Apple
wireless keyboards :)

I'm sorry but uclinux on iPod only supports vi.  If we wanted to use
emacs we would stick with the Apple firmware.

[ Do I need to add a :) here? ]

Actually for editors I'm thinking a very simple note-taker editor is
more likely unless some real keyboards show up.

As for bluetooth.  That is something that could be very cool.  A small
serial based bluetooth module that plugs into the iPod would be neat. 
And integrating with something like <http://linuxbrit.co.uk/bluexmms/>
would be quite neat/useful.

cheers,
bern.

No, you get an "lol" for free!

Something like this is apparently in the works acc'd to google("ipod
bluetooth").  I am assuming/hoping that it would be possible to send
data to the ipod (which is what would in theory lead to
keyboard-controlability) and from the ipod (which would just be be
logical).
