As interested as I am in supporting Squeak-based products, I can tell
you that the competition for my money is Cosmic Blobs
http://www.cosmicblobs.com/  The marketing and web site is very slick,
it is reasonably priced, and I am thinking that it may be a superior
technology in some respects.  Although I may buy the English version
of Plopp anyway, if and when it becomes available.  Has anyone done
anything with real-time metaballs modeling in Squeak?

As for an English name for Plopp, how about:

3D Playground, Kids 3D Sketching, Swell, Billow, No Huff No Puff,
Balloon 3D, Bear Bolster, 3D Pump, Pooch, Inflation Creation ...

Woah, nice names David, you've got a talent there. :)

Has anyone ported Squeak to the Nokia 770?

I'm interested in tinyBenchmarks, and also a qualitative evaluation
of speed and usability of the UI.

Thanks

Hello Dan,
maybe here is a hint:
ask Aaron Reichow - but he is not reading the list regulary -
reic0024[at]d[dot]umn[dot]edu
on IRC (06-10-01) he mentioned:
04:31:47 <rev> efc: but now i've recieved a new gadget- the nokia 770, a linux-based handheld (a pda w/o PIM apps- they call it an "internet tablet")
...
04:33:09 <rev> efc: i forgot to finish... the problem with the Nokia 770 is that while it has a gorgeous screen- 4.5" 800x480- it only has a 220 MHz XScale CPU
04:33:28 <rev> so i will be revisiting some older squeaks for my nokia 770
...
Cheers Rudolf
