I often use VolksForth (<A HREF="http://volksforth.sf.net" REL="nofollow">http://volksforth.sf.net</A>) on an old <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_Portfolio" REL="nofollow">Atari Portfolio</A> as a portable Forth Environment. I have also used VolksForth on Frodo (C=64 Emulator) on an Symbian Phone in the past. Forth works best on bare hardware, running Forth on top of the JVM is not an easy task (despite some similarities between a Forth VM and the JVM). Is there QEmu for the G1? Or use <A HREF="http://www-jpc.physics.ox.ac.uk/" REL="nofollow">JPC (PC Emulator written in Java)</A>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12753102.post-21833361007821576432009-03-06T13:26:00.000-05:002009-03-06T13:26:00.000-05:00Maybe Misty Beach Forth would work on the phone?ht...Maybe Misty Beach Forth would work on the phone?<BR/><BR/>http://www.mistybeach.com/products/Forth/<BR/><BR/>--JoshAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12753102.post-73558765055423843522009-03-06T10:25:00.000-05:002009-03-06T10:25:00.000-05:00I think that if you jailbreak your G1, you can run...I think that if you jailbreak your G1, you can run PFE, gForth, bigForth, etc., on it.
