Re: [iPAQ] wish list

Has anyone tried Squeak on the iPaq? It's a very nice Smalltalk
implementation that, among other things, as a rather nice handwriting
recognition engine in it. Squeak was ported to the original DEC Itsy,
though I don't know if that was a "raw" port of the Smalltalk VM and
runtime or whether it ran over Linux (or some other OS).
