That's one of the most important reasons why I would try to be as compatible with existing plan 9 interfaces (like devdraw). Ideally, a program that's developed for a plan 9 phone would "just work" within a rio window on a standard terminal. You could just rcpu into your phone, run the "address book" phone app, and that would behave like a standard plan 9 program (just with bigger buttons and more touch optimized, I guess). The latter differences could be worked on by developing a context-aware UI system, but that's also very complicated. I have a thinkpad with a touchscreen that works quite well with 9front btw. A touch-optimized phone app would ideally "just work" on that laptop. Regarding modem: easy tethering, out of the box. You could also make your phone an easy VPN bridge to your home network. sirjofri ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T937367c51de50ce3-Mba4bbf3647cdde940589d32a Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
