I had another idea. A handheld PC running Linux or Windows might be the best bet.

I saw one of those in Fry's (a PDA running Linux). I can't remember what it was though. (If Ned is reading this list, he was with me at the time and maybe he remembers?) We tried for 5 minutes to get to a terminal so we could see more about the h/w and s/w, before giving up. But it might be feasible to bring Squeak up on such a machine with very little work.

(FWIW, Squeak already runs on WinCE.)

I recently saw the Leapster handheld product from LeapFrog. I found out it runs Macromedia Flash. I had a brainstorm. What would be ideal is a similar device running Squeak. Kids could plan games on it, and if they wanted learn how the games worked and write their own. It might not be realistic but it is a fun dream.
