I think it would work on anything with Android > 1.6. See http://code.google.com/p/squeakvm-tablet/wiki/TinyBenchmark People tried it on many different devices including phones. Screen size may be another story: on a small phone screen it may be a bit hard to work with windows that Squeak or Pharo provides. Can you attach your phone to a larger monitor (some phones advertize HDMI connection)? But properly written applications that use large interface elements would work just fine even on a small screen. You may try this old 3.9 image: http://squeakvm-tablet.googlecode.com/files/sqandr_pres.zip I altered its default theme to use larger fonts where possible. So maybe it will be better visible on a phone. Hope this helps. -- Dimitry Golubovsky Anywhere on the Web
Hi, I've tried cogDroid on a samsung Galaxy IT5500L mobile with Android 2.2... It installs properly, and recognizes the .image files on the sd card, but when I try to open an image it freezes up, and after a while the application closes :( So, maybe it's just that my phone is not ready yet for it, but maybe it isn't :O On 1 October 2011 16:24, Dimitry Golubovsky <golubovsky@gmail.com> wrote:
