At the moment, for me at least, PDA's, phones etc are good for reading and reviewing of tasks/actions or whatever and as an 'inbox' for text/voice remember notes. At least if you want to use org-mode as your canonical repository of tasks. To get a PDA to interact/sync properly with Org mode, you'd need native tools that understand org mode files and could update the PDA's native TODO/Calandar/Contact/whatever information via its own API's. In the book Getting Things Done, David Allen says that it is not the tool you use, as much as it is how easy it is for you to be able to use it to GTD. PDA's, even running emacs, would are too cumbersome to be effective at Org GTDing without *org specific* tools IMHO.

Re: [Orgmode] org-mode PDAs
I would like to know if there are any PDA or Smartphone devices to use with org-mode, and be able to sync between them with ease. Since the files are plain text anything that is capable of syncing plain text files should work. Although you can edit/display the files on your pda, I think that hardly any pda's can run emacs, so you lose a lot of the functionality of being able to use org mode. For simply referring to data in your files I find that exporting my org files to html, copying to my phone, then viewing them on my smartphone's browser works well.

This would be of major interest. Is it besser to wait for the official release of the OpenMoko? I have heard that one can install a complete Emacs on this.
