Squeak on PlayStation?

Playstation does support a mouse. And certainly, there are already games out there for the PSX that make use of occasional on
screen keyboards.
I don't believe anyone would want to develop in the traditional sense "on" a Playstation. Of course some kind of Morphic based
Art/Music application written in Squeak, particularly for an education oriented audience, may sell well. PSX software is a really
big market.
The PSX2 has internet capability and a large capacity (DVD) drive for images. It really is a fast graphics machine. Might be
interesting to see the first game that is binary portable to a PSX from Mac, Linux, PC's.
Oh well. I'm sounding more like a technologist now than a business manager...
