Hi,

I could get Squeak to come up on Nokia 800 (OS2008) with vm-3.9-8 (unix) and 
Squeakland plugin image. The VM was compiled using Maemo SDK in CHINOOK_ARMEL 
target and then transfered to the tablet. The tablet won't execute programs 
off its MMC card by default, so I had to copy squeak binary to /usr/bin and 
then run the rest off the MMC card.

I was able to do the 'circling car' demo in Morphic. Halos, keyboard and sound 
(vm-sound-OSS) don't work yet. After struggling with just cut-n-paste to get 
the first set of benchmarks, I redirected $DISPLAY to another PC to continue 
the work. Atleast keyboard and halos worked!

On native display, any host window operation (minimize, maximize, ..) freezes 
the app. Response is slightly sluggish.

Is there any interest in this list in Nokia 800/810? Is Derek O'Connell still 
working on the port?
