Pretty much the same as for iOS: Design and implement a UI that is usable by touch.

That's the biggie.
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!!!


Getting it to work shouldn't take much longer than a couple of weekends, given that there is a Squeak VM already available.
Just to clear I assume the unit is "Bert weekends"
