Very good. It would be wonderful to have a good support for the
most prominent arm cores. There are a lot of nice devices which
have an arm core. The openmoko phone (FIC 1973) [1] and the Nokia 
N810 [2] are just two of them. And they all feature a touchscreen. 
I'm not sure if the chumby is based on openembedded [3] but it looks
like. So chumby and openmoko are both based on openembedded. 
There is also a openembedded support for maemo [4]  which tries 
leverage the barrier to develop for it [5].

The native porting initiative could care about integrating to
build of squeak into openembedded. Tony Garnock-Jones has done
this [6] for the openmoko phone. 
I don't know what interfaces exist in squeak to have access to
a touchscreen. A way to go could be to enable support for tslib
[7]

And, of course, I would like to have a calibration software for
my wiimote in squeak [8] :)
