just FYI - I am not sure whether anybody else has tried this
but one of the students in my class got GRASS running on a cell phone.
We will see what we can do with its GPS. If anybody else is running this and developing
any related applications, please let us know,
thank you,
Helena
Also (This is just for fun) I have installed grass on my cell phone,
Nokia N900 it has a linux base operation system (easy debian),
I can use grass on my cell phone as the same as on my computer with a real bluetooth mouse.
I remember Radim Blazek in FOSS conference in Bangkok 2003 having a speech recognition system for shortest path on GRASS using Familiar Linux for PDA.
With the advent of Tablets at 100-200 dollars (1.5GHz dual-core 8-10inches) we are certainly going to have a good GSOC 2012 topic to port GRASS to our beloved Android… Knowing that these tablets are packed with GPS, acceleomters, e-compass, cameras… There are some good integration topics here (r.in.modis can have a sister r.in.landsat based on where you are) then you can have python scripts preparing you dataset while you are digging some soil samples…
Oh well better stop dreaming!

you'll probably want to look at gpsd.berlios.de for handling the GPS,
"apt-get install gpsd" (+ python-gps and gpsd-utils)
wrt simple consumable navigation:
(as opposed to two-way annotation and feedback during field work & real
GIS functions)
but it was less than ideal and I abandoned it in favor of the GRASS 6
d.out.gpsdrive module to create backdrop tiles for the www.GpsDrive.de
navigation software. (debian package for that is wildly out of date,
I've got newer built if wanted-> see the osgeo live dvd 5.0)
since I mostly deal with ship navigation now-a-days I mostly am using the
r.out.kap_template Addon module to export to self-made nautical charts
(in fact habitat model results but the software doesn't know that) for
the highly successful www.OpenCPN.org navigation software. (see also the
live dvd)

... yes, it was really nice.
