Is it useful to do this when you have MUCH MUCH MUCH better alternatives to an iphone or ipad? I use Nokia N900 with all the applications I use generally under linux installed (it IS a LINUX phone indeed!), and I use an acer aspire one with two batteries (of 9 hours' life!), a webcam (ipad has none), 250 GB HD (not the 64 GB, in the best case, of an ipad), multitasking, and many other things, which costed a half of an ipad. And I have of course emacs, vim, and a whole operating system OF MY CHOICE, on it. What is an ipad good for? Nothing, of course, it's just a stilish toy!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11788780.post-4397836082569653632010-06-17T23:41:15.357-07:002010-06-17T23:41:15.357-07:00> Porting GNU Emacs was one of the first things...> Porting GNU Emacs was one of the first things I did with my freshly-jailbroken iPad.<br /><br />Nice!jjinuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03270879497119114175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11788780.post-63525159926392760162010-06-13T13:17:48.319-07:002010-06-13T13:17:48.319-07:00Porting GNU Emacs was one of the first things I di...Porting GNU Emacs was one of the first things I did with my freshly-jailbroken iPad.
