I'm not sure what Apple's userspace environment is like, since I

good amount of work to port Racket to even a compiled app. The C

Android and is missing a lot of stuff. Gui stuff would have to be
ported to the Android-specific GUI library.
The machine I was trying it on was (IIRC) a plain ubuntu setup,
nothing as different or as limited as a phone.
You can even run a fairly ordinary Ubuntu on a Nexus One, although it
isn't all that useful as a phone that way. Some people have expressed
a desire to run Android on top of an ordinary Linux userspace, but I
don't know if any progress has been made in making that happen.
