Since the handwriting recognition doesn't yet work, and afaict there's no easy way to pop-up the hildon virtual keyboard, i still think a rotated version is necessary to have space for a pose-skin virtual keyboard.

Am i wrong here? Another option might be running it in landscape mode and placing alphanumeric keys on either side of the main POSE screen. It wouldn't be querty, but we'd save the hassle of hacking the display routines.

* What changes did you make to POSE sourcecode, if any?
* Have you been able to load/save files within POSE yet?
* Please upload package source so I can compile a N770 .deb

cheers
hmmm, hildon pop-up keyboard for pose....out of my league.
A pose skin with a virtual keyboard not sure that would work for the m130 or m505.
you would have to get roms for (treo90, treo270, treo k180), that have a keyboard. Gave the ROMs for those devices a try and they do not work on the Emulator3.5. Further research shows that those roms work on the 3.0 emulator. Koders.com have a version of the source code, but it looks like every single file has to be download individually.
Could definitely split that keyboard in half, and make a skin that would definitely work.
PDAEXPERT
breaks down which emulator is using which roms and skins.
the clie is compatible 3.2
handspring is compatible with 3.0
Handera is compatible with 3.1
the tungsten W is compatible with 3.0
not sure if thats the math...but this is what Im getting from downloading the different emulators and roms....

now for your questions.
* What changes did you make to POSE sourcecode, if any?
made changes to one file and that file is ->>Emwindow<-- located in the sharedsrc folder.
that modification was to bound the hardware keys to the skins buttons, Not sure if the next version release should include a skin with hardkeys.

* Have you been able to load/save files within POSE yet?
Yes, memopad and notes(think its done using the apps DataBase). Not sure this is quite what you mean.
also session wise. you can can save a snapshot of your current pose activities. advise people to save their sessions after installing applications.
you can do this manually or have it done automatically.
Automatically= right click>settings>preferences> select Always save settings.

* Please upload package source so I can compile a N770 .deb
You're on IRC ask me for the file.....or I can easily paste the line of code for you of the change I did to Emwindow.

Using FLTK 1.1.7 source from debian.
also using pose 3.5 source from debian.
everything was already patched, and good to go.
