While I am all for "authoring always on" having Etoys projects that could
run on Android (without authoring, which would be really annoying for fat
finger folks like myself on such a small screen)  would be a BIG motivator
for kids.
It would also help us get a lot more usage and attraction to Etoys.
Imaging creating an Android App as simple as creating an Etoys project!!!
