Final summary on emacs with orgmode on the G1: I added a few hints to http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsOnAndroid

The way I installed debian caused the swapping via "compcache" to be
disabled, which I remedied by now (see wiki page above). That helps
with some problems with memory consumption, but doesn't really make
things faster (I have a slow SD card, I think I will order a faster
one soon).
I didn't manage to get below 9 seconds for changing from one day to
the next in the agenda, even though I moved out most of my reference
material (and that way I have a more pure GTD-setup in my org-files now).

This is still valid.

And so is this. I have a remote host on which I use emacs + org mostly
from the phone, so I have my @G1 and @Network context on that box and
use speed commands, fast tag selection and context based auto
exclusion to get the right context. So if I have to wait for a delayed
train again, I can just pull up my shopping lists ;)
The debian installation remains on my sd card, since it's nice to have
the familiar tools with me in a pinch. I guess android based
smartphones will be much faster a few years from now, if they still
exist, and then maybe this setup will be more frequently used.
