Why not? Typing a convoluted command is no harder than typing anything
else. I think the only question is whether one accepts the premise of
doing any typing at all on the iphone/ipod touch. If so, emacs is no
less a good choice than any other editor (well, there may be questions
about memory and processor requirements, but that's another issue).
Once you install the BSD layer, I would think that emacs should
certainly be possible (vi is already there), but I don't know of any
efforts in this direction. I wouldn't expect any official development
from GNU since the platform is not open, but I would certainly be
happy if someone did it.
