Hi Peter, Within Dr.Geo, Dmitry Golubovsky (in copy) helped me a lot for the Android VM with tuning it and writing the necessary wrapper to the OS. (For example to access the virtual keyboard, network).
The Android and iOS VM share some points as the need for an ARM's JIT and small improvement over the Bitblt. Tim wrote Bitblt improvements for the Raspberry PI to make Scratch smoother on this device (Check the VM mailing list at http://forum.world.st). Esteban integrated those ones in the iOS VM. If you check the DrGeo' Smalltalkhub repository, you will see a DrGeoTheme package for tablet. It improves the usability. If you know you want your app on tablet, you can from the start make the right design decisions. As I am concerned, I am working on an application for math learning, and making good design decision help if you know it should be tablet friendly from the beginning. Good work!
