Some ideas (that might also apply to Squeak) are:
- The VM is portable. It can run on any 32-bit architecture. For 
example, Android and iOS (there are already Squeak apps for these 
platforms).
- The UI framework is simplified with the explicit purpose of enabling 
developers to do whatever UI look and feel they need. For example, 
mimicking any such native apps.
- Some Cuis specific features to ease use on non-PC systems. For 
example: #hugeFonts, #smallFonts, tap&hold top open menus.

Cheers,
