Hi, There are two CI (continuous integration) jobs running periodically at the INRIA Jenkins server: CogDroid and PharoDroid. The former is an unbundled NonJIT Cog VM for Android which can run any Smalltalk image original Cog VM can run. The latter is the same Cog VM bundled with a generic Pharo 1.4 Smalltalk image. These two builds complement each other, and together they comprise an Android analog of the one-click Pharo distribution: a practically usable piece of software ready for development and exploration of possible uses of Smalltalk on mobile devices.
Whoever is interested to try Pharo and other compatible Smalltalk implementations on Android devices are welcome to use these builds. A brief overview with installation and usage recommendations can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/squeakvm-tablet/wiki/JenkinsBuilds The developer of CogDroid and PharoDroid hopes that these new Android applications will help the adoption of Smalltalk for writing applications for mobile devices. Any thoughts, suggestions and critics are welcome. Thanks. -- Dmitry Golubovsky Anywhere on the Web
