I didn't know about CogDroid.  Can it be installed from the Android
app-store or is it a manual install?  Hopefully the store but, either
way, it's at least neat to know Squeak images can run on yet another
device.  How is Dr. Geo installed?  I'd have to borrow my wife's
tablet to find out, I'm still 100% in the PC world.

I'm curious how the gestures map.  Could you elaborate?

  - left-click?
  - middle click?
  - right click?
  - position the Hand without clicking (this may not be possible on a
tablet interface)?

For development, I can run the image from the tablet in USB mode if I want, or I can download images from my computer. The only actual development work I have done is to make minor modifications to the SameGame program. It runs well and looks like a tablet game.
