It runs it acceptably well. Bear in mind that I've been running Squeak
on various ARM handheld devices since 1999. I inherited it cheaply
from Aaron Reichow when he got a newer model. For me, it's just a
Squeak machine, especially now that I have an iPhone, whose PIM
capabilities are MUCH more usable. Unfortunately, the latter platform
has been harder to work with so far as a developer.

Sure, that would be a good small step, achievable by even a casual
Squeak user.
