It's as easy as writing your code (in your browser), launch the compilation process in their systems (cloud) and automatically downloading the resulting binary file, which can be easily transfered to the device by drag&drop, since it's recognized as a usb storage device.
I got mine for free a while back and it took me few minutes to develop a simple multi-threaded application to control a few LEDs and Servos.
Only Firefox for now, due to the editor UI. If you'd like to help integrate Skywriter/Bespin, I'd love to collaborate. The code is here: https://github.com/niryariv/weblets

Yes, as I said in the initial post, I know that is possible, but it misses the point. This requires a host that you want to develop on and as I move more to the cloud (i.e. hosting on Heroku), I am less likely to have a server to SSH into.
It's worth having a VPS around as your dev environment. The laptop you're carrying around is extremely likely to get lost, stolen, dropped, or otherwise damaged. A VPS isn't a backup solution, but it's not at constant risk of physical harm. Work in a screen session and you'll be able to pick up where you last left off --from any machine. Not to mention your VPS is almost certainly faster than your laptop and connecte…

Edit: looks like they're not accepting new customers right now. sorry.
This is what I do on mine, Control + Alt + T; ssh user host; emacs -nw
I'm assuming this is on the CR48? So this means there is a built-in terminal system? I was wondering about that, if they'd allow you past the browser front-end or not.

It's probably worth plugging http://prgmr.com/xen/ , run by fellow HN member lsc. If you prepay for the year, a 256MB VPS is only $6.40/mo. I've had good luck with it so far; it's a perfect always-on dev environment. (I'm just a customer, no affiliation) Edit: looks like they're not accepting new customers right now. sorry.
This seems like a promising implementation of Vi in Javascript: http://gpl.internetconnection.net/vi/
/saves for later; thanks for the link!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_JavaScript-based_... I'm always amazed at what can be found on wikipedia.
It still baffles me that Google hasn't tackled this already.
