I woke up one day to see a future of ubiquitous mobile. Assuming
Smalltalk would be there in the future, even now, I did a Google
search for "Mobile Smalltalk" and found nothing mentioned for the last
6 years. Even "Seaside Mobile" gave back nothing. Even a vulture
knows that a creature immobile for 6 years is almost certainly dead!
Tell me it isn't so!

Take a look at the various small platforms Squeak runs on.

Squeak has been ported to IOS, and I know that there's a port in
progress to Android. In terms of IOS, there's been a fair bit of news
for Squeak and Scratch; you would have to work at it in order to avoid
it, actually.

Aida/Web Smalltalk web framework (http://www.aidaweb.si) added mobile
support in recent version 6.2, for web apps on mobile devices, with
HTML5 support like local store and offline work soon. In future client
side standalone web apps based on Jtalk (http://jtalk-project.org) are
planned.

Note that you can pack web app (HTML+CSS+JavaScript) as a native mobile
App and publish it in several mobile App stores with PhoneGap
(http://phonegap.org) !

So, Smalltalkers are thinking and doing mobile, in many ways. Well, we
should make a bit more noise about that, that's for sure :)

Best regards
Janko
