Disney's Squeak Project

Jim Thompson writes "Today's edition of Project Heresy at CNET News covers a very interesting new (?) project called Squeak by, of all people, The Disney Co. This project, targetted at embedded devices, has a Smalltalk heritage and is based, to some extent, on code from Apple. Apple required that Disney not commercialize their product, so Disney has released it as Open Source. Squeak is not itself an OS, but the Heretics speculate that Squeak will soon be married to a scaled-down linux kernel an ported to all sorts of handheld devices. Squeak sounds reasonably cool in that it's based on Smalltalk-80 and has what sounds like a built-in "skins" feature for its UI. Do any Slashdotters have more info on Squeak, on where to go for more information? "
