The OpenMoko project (http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Main_Page) looks fascinating. I've downloaded the build environment with an eye to getting a Squeak VM and image running on it.
The summary of the project:
"OpenMoko is an attempt to create the world's first completely open mobile phone software stack. [...] OpenMoko is supposed to run on all kinds of Linux-capable mobile phones. The first fully supported OpenMoko phone is the FIC Neo1973."
The hardware will be available to developers in the next few weeks. The first public release will be later in the year. All the software - drivers included - is open-source.
Some highlights of the hardware:
- VGA resolution (480x640) - Touchscreen + stylus - GSM - USB - 266 (?) MHz ARM CPU - 128 MB SDRAM - 64 MB NAND flash - wifi *may* be ready in time for the first iteration
An ideal portable network-enabled squeak machine, perhaps!

If only you could by one! I hope there will be Python/Ruby/whatever-not-terrible-language bindings so you won't have to use C (god I hate GObject) to hack it. Of course if someone made Squeak/Smalltalk/F-Script bindings I would take that as well :)
