E-paper is far better than a generic screen, admittedly, but I find it less pleasant for some reason. I don't use bookmarks anyway, remembering page numbers isn't hard. ;) > With a physical keyboard, I find using SSH on an Android phone > painless as long as I don't often need Ctrl (which gives vi an > advantage). I've not tried a physical-keyboard smartphone. I use an iPhone, somewhat grudgingly. I used to use an HTC Hero, but my carrier chose to keep me on Android 1.5 long after 2.1 was available, and I finally abandoned it when my phone crashed in the night and didn't wake me up in time for an exam. ;) Still, I may some day return to Android's shores... cls
