How about moving this thread to squeak-vm? That list has been quiet for too 
long :-).

The Maemo team has done a splendid job in putting together a cross-compilation 
kit for 8x0s but then the 8x0s is powerful enough to deserve a native 
development env. Ideal for Forth and Smalltalk VM builders.

The current software stack on 8x0s is horribly bloated and don't do full 
justice to the capabilities of the handheld. If we use Maemo to bootstrap 
Squeak and use Squeak to boostrap Albert (or whatever Ian calls it these 
days :-)) then we get a Pocket Alto. With 7 hours of active usage and 10 days 
of standby time, the prospect of a pocket computer in which one can twiddle 
all day long without reaching out for the nearest electrical socket is quite 
appealing.
