Yes, it's quite awesome. I admit, I'm a weirdo- in a mobile computer, I
want to be able to do everything for the most part. On the Newton, I
could do everything I really ever need to do what I do on my desktop-
except code in Squeak. As a person who lives out of Squeak on the
desktop, it's important to me. I suppose I have a weird vision of my
perfect computer. :)

I would be interested in PocketSmalltalk if and only if you could develop
for PocketSmalltalk on the device itself. ATM, I know there's no IDE for
the Palm OS version of PocketSmalltalk, but the question is more if one
could be constructed in a straight forward way. I'm not familiar with the
PocketSmalltalk architecture- can the Compiler be packaged in a deployment
image? Can you do an "Compiler evaluate: '3 + 4'"?
