I'm a little late to this game but I am fascinated by what you have done so far and I would greatly appreciate you continuing to share your knowledge...

I ran your xeyes demo on my N770 and on my powerbook (just for grins). I even tried the xeyes demo over GPRS and it was laggy but not unreasonable. Very cool stuff.

My company builds some linux based telemetry and data acquisition systems. We do all our GUI's in java because that lets us have a single GUI that looks the same on a local display as it does on a web browser.

But you have just shown me a third way to get there, X forwarding.

So let me ask you this... What are the pros / cons of X forwarding versus something like VNC? Both accomplish very similar things.

If you wanted to make a fairly feature rich GUI but not necessarily graphically intensive, what techniques / platforms would you employ to get the most out of a mobile terminal like the 770?
