Yes - the command included are:
- db.* modules
- g.gisenv
- d.mon
- d.rast
- d.vect
- d.sites
- d.erase
- d.what.rast
- d.what.vect
- d.what.sites
- d.measure
- d.pan
- d.zoom
- g.region/cmd
- manage (g.list, g.remove etc)
- r.in.ascii
- s.in.ascii

Of course the script can be easily extended.

OK - do you have a suggestion for a place?
Maybe in

That we didn't try yet. Perhaps we should also add a 
GRASS/Handhelds
web page to stimulate further interest.
