Not quite. There is nothing, that i can't do with Android (from navigation to full featured Desktop/Tablet apps with very matured RAD tools), but plenty of things, i can't do with Smalltalk/Pharo. Missing standards, touch libs....a concept ...
If these topics are not adressed, even the most successful "customer" will soon have to change to JavaScript or Java, Objective-C, C++ ... Touch is everywhere soon, now.
