That's an intriguing idea. I mean, Emacs-in-the-cloud, sort of. So
when I start up my Emacs on my MeeGo phone (or something; my phone ain't
smart enough yet), then it'd pull down all the, er, relevant bits to
allow me to read news/mail/etc with the least amount of stored data
locally.
However, this has to work unplugged too, and it should sync (with the
least amount of data transferred) when it manages to connect to the
network. So Emacs should have a way of asking "what's happened since
<TIMESTAMP>" and get all the changes...
That'd be cool.
The challenge (in addition to this being generally a challenging problem
area :-) would be to make this fast enough that it'd be appealing...
