And if yu have an APK that I can download somewhere else than on the market, I am interested (the ALT and CTL key missing are really painful, I use the blue/yellow button emulation but it is not cool)

I am not sure the image size is really a problem on a tablet ? lot of games - angry birds game (free on android market ) for example- are about 30MB if I m right, and the download from the market is no problem. Are you talking of the splitting of the image because of resource size restrictions , as mentioned by andreas in his first post ? (BTW a small image would be good too) > I think Android takes care of it itself: once an application is > invisible it is suspended automatically. Or did you notice any > performance degradation? I clearly had the feeling that the battery is going down faster when I use Pharo perhaps because not all Smalltalk processes are sleepng and so the vm never sleep ? The UI morphic process make pauses of 20 ms when there is not event , I don't know for others processes (Timer event loop, Input events process).

Cool, if the clipboard vm primitives are ok, the System Clipboard class should work ?. Regards, Alain
