Re: Emacs24 Mobile

Would also be interesting to augment emacs on mobile with spoken
output -- fo rinstance, see the platform TTS API  on Android.

If all of emacs runs on Android, getting emacspeak
http://emacspeak.sf.net running on Android would be a matter of
writing a speech server atop that TTS  API.
