Yeah VM works on iOS. My use case is private, nothing fancy. I just value having decent TextEditor and friends.
For an OO thing like Smalltalk Pharo, it would be a shame to now have a top notch UI kit for editing text. I hope to be able to provide several decent samples so that newcomers don't have to go through the same pain as I go through now.
