 I cannot help you directly with the Palm but, in case you wish to
 consider a different little computer, the Nokia N810 (an internet
 tablet, not a phone) does a good job of running Emacs in a phone sized
 form factor (but with keyboard).  I was (and still am every now and
 again) using this specifically for org-mode.

 The latest incarnation of this system (which started with the N770 and
 progress through the N800 and N810) is the N900 which is now a phone
 as well as an internet table.  This also, I'm told, runs Emacs.

Great idea :-)

Are there packages for nokia n800 running OS 2008 ? I happen to have one
such device that could very well be used for this instead of collection
dust ;)

I've found a package for emacs 22
(http://danielsz.freeshell.org/code/mine/emacs-for-maemo/index.shtml)
but that all seems old and requires dependencies on unabailable packages
(libxaw).

Also emacs 22 is a bit too old maybe ?

Any hints would be welcome.

Best regards,

These are a few links I collected when I got my n800:

All the libraries for emacs are available but you do need to search
around.  You should check out the repository search site at
http://www.gronmayer.com/it/

No, I don't believe so (but I'm Carsten will tell us otherwise) as I
believe that all coding takes into account the differences between 22
and 23.x.

 Any hints would be welcome.

I would look at maemo.org, especially talk.maemo.org which is a very
comprehensive forum and wiki.maemo.org.

I found the N800 very usable with emacs, especially for capturing org
notes, but eventually wanted an actual keyboard for using email
(wanderlust in Emacs) so I got an N810 as well.  Both worked very well
and I used one or the other daily until a couple of months ago when I
got myself an Android phone.  The phone is not as good for org [1]
but is much better for on-the-move email because of 3G+wifi versus
wifi alone.

Hope this helps!

Footnotes: 
[1]  yet: I'm hoping for MobileOrg for Android to
meet my needs eventually; I believe emacs is also possible for this
phone but I haven't tried yet
