... goodness! :-)

I think it is amazing that multiple objects can be dragged around at
the same time. Very impressive.

Best,

Michael

The link don't work for me today, but I see others reports so congrats to
all working hard for put Squeak into the iPad.

If only we here in the far side of world and paying twice a iPad could put
our hands into it....

This article raises an interesting issue:

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704009804575308982549077428.html?mod=WSJ_Books_LS_Books_2


should etoys/scratch/etc be enhanced to handle not just multi-touch but
other iphone OS specific features when they are present? Eventually,
they won't be iphone/ipad-specific. Likewise, other company's products
might get specific features first. Should there be a way to auto-detect
such features if they are present and expose them to etoys/scratch users?

e.g. input from x/y/z/rotational accelerometers, GPS, compass, etc?

People ooh and ah about the White Rabbit's watch swinging in the
direction that the iPad is tilting. Imagine what could be done with
enhanced story telling if kids are able to use those features with
scratch or etoys?

The squeak iphone vm already supports

- (void) buildAccelerationEventComplexObject: (UIAcceleration *) acceleration placeIn: (sqComplexEvent *) evt;
- (void) buildLocationEventComplexObject: (NSMutableArray *) acceleration placeIn: (sqComplexEvent *) evt;

- (void) buildApplicationEventComplexObject: (NSMutableArray *) acceleration placeIn: (sqComplexEvent *) evt;
        applicationTermination
        memoryWarning.

In order for the EventSensor logic in the Smalltalk image to receive acceleration and location data you have to use
some Objective-C calls to ask the Objective-C Class to turn on the gathering of data, then of course interpret what the
data means...
