My current feeling is that using such devices as browsers to a J server makes more sense than porting and running J locally. I think the potential usability is much higher, for far less work, and covers a wider range of devices. Have you tried one with the current Jsoftware JHS. No doubt there are problems, but they are worth solving.
Put another way: if such devices were in serious and wide use with the J server, then that might be enough interest to justify the extra steps for a port.
