I'd be very interested in this too. You may recall I attempted to get
Goo running on a cellphone a while back:

I was able to get going but I couldn't port the Boehm collector at the
time, so it quickly ran out of memory. Cellphones these days have much
more memory so there is probably a better chance of getting it going.
I'm not sure if Boehm is working on Symbian OS yet though.

I'm also intersted in getting it working on the Nintendo DS handheld
gaming system. There's a fairly good 'homebrew' community around it and
it would make an interesting language to develop with. The DS has two
CPU's, two screens, 4MB of RAM and is ARM based (one ARM7 and one ARM9).
The cellphones I develop for are ARM based as well btw, with from 4-80MB
of memory.

A small footprint VM with or without a JIT would be perfect.
