I just bought a laptop with touchscreen, so I will probably get some time to fiddle with touchscreen issues soon.

Kathleen,
It is beginning to seem more urgent that Etoys adapt to these new rather closed box machines.
Etoys has been adapted, but isn't allowed by Apple to be distributed to its users.
That's not exactly true: we did not even try to submit the iPad version to Apple. One reason is indeed that Apple might object to the built-in project sharing, but the more severe reason is that the current Etoys UI does not work well on a touch-only device. Nobody has seriously tried to do anything about that, yet.
(It is true that Apple rejected the "Scratch Viewer", see http://mobilewikiserver.com/Scratch.html )
