Hi Dimitry. Congratulations for the project. It looks promising. A couple of question:<br><br>The fork of the adroid VM is from the Interpreter VM, isn't it ?<br>Have you ever consider or have in mind to adapt the Cog StackVM ? I remember John saying that this improved performance in the iPhone.<br>
<br>Just curiosity...apart from changing the interpreter loop, does this VM require more changes in the "VMMaker part" ? because I guess most of the fork is in the platform code. <br><br>Thanks<br><br>Mariano<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I am glad to announce that the Squeak Port for Android Tablets [1] has<br>
reached its first milestone.<br>
<br>
Work has been done towards fixing certain usability issues such as<br>
better integration with Android Input Methods, access to local file<br>
system, etc.<br>
<br>
The pre-packaged Android application (apk, signed with debug key), and<br>
zipped Image file (Image, changes, sources, demo project) are<br>
available from the project page at Google Code.<br>
<br>
Everyone is welcome to test the application on their Android devices.<br>
See the TestDrive [2] Wiki page for detailed instructions. Please<br>
report all issues to the project's issue tracker and Wiki pages.<br>
<br>
In my case it works on Pandigital Novel 9" eReader tablet with Android<br>
2.0, not rooted.<br>
<br>
PS Two things are still known to be an issue:<br>
<br>
1. Network sockets do not function properly; they were not addressed<br>
at this time<br>
2. Android NDK rev. 3 is still required (because of the 4.2.1<br>
toolchain); see [3] for some information<br>
<br>
PPS I also have been working on the presentation of this project (see<br>
notes and slides in the wiki). If there is any interested group of<br>
Smalltalk and/or Android users/developers in my area (South-eastern<br>
PA, US) I'd be glad to give an actual presentation.<br>
<br>
Thanks for any feedback.<br>
