I'm not sure about the RAM, and the battery is dead at the moment. The screen is small, but I specifically wanted a handheld that was *not* a phone; it was a fairly big disappointment for software reasons. I would forget my head w/o my Palm 32, but the world is changing. As an aside, I might try an iPod touch; I just want a PDA.
I would definitely plan to develop elsewhere and copy to it.

But technically you should be able to run CogDroid on it given enough RAM is available (someone I remember tried it on a phone with 128M RAM and that was not sufficient) 256M should be OK. If you have wifi on the tablet you should be able to hook it up with a home wifi router - only you need to have NAT enabled since Android browser does not use HTTP proxy. Pharo can be configured to use a proxy though so you can access Monticello repos also such way. > It is hard to imagine developing on it, but I'm willing to be pleasantly > surprised, and it would be nice to be able to deploy Pharo apps on hand-held > devices. You may develop on a PC and then transfer the image to the tablet. Or load packages from Monticello repos as usual (with proxy or NAT).
