Scratch on Chumby

I also posted this here: http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=1002878#p1002878

But, then I saw #11 in this forum about why no Scratch on iPhones, etc.  One of the main reasons given is because iPhone doesn't support Java, Flash, etc. (and I totally get that...)

Chumby is a family of devices that play Flash movies... they're pretty cool little things, and since Scratch already has a Flash player, how difficult would it be to get Scratch apps playing on Chumby?

Also, I just saw this: http://www.chumby.com/pages/android which seems to suggest that if Scratch got to Chumby, it just might make the leap to Android phones as well (hey, I know how unlikely it is that it would work, and work well, on the first try, but... the path does look easier than attempting to code a translator into Objective C...)

Re: Scratch on Chumby

Cool idea! I don't have a chumby though... I've never heard of it.
