I'm really glad to here this, and look forward to giving it a try on my
iPAQ.

Hi,

I am the one working on PocketRuby (for Pocket PC only).  I promise to
upload my work when it is done so that the Ruby community can extend
and improve on it.  In a few days, I will upload my most current code
to the CVS mentioned in the above message so those of you who are
interested can try it out and I would appreciate all feedbacks and
comments.

Current status is minuruby is working in the Pocket PC Emulator (I
haven't tested anything on a real device) meaning that it is running
some ruby programs and returning correct results.  I haven't done much
testing to see how good PocketRuby is compared to desktop Ruby.  Keep
in mind this is not of release version quality yet.

I am building a GUI in Embedded Visual Basic for PocketRuby (there is
no command prompt in PocketPC) .  Currently, the GUI let the user
write Ruby code on the GUI and execute the code with a few clicks
(among other things like saving and loading files).  I will also
upload the GUI to CVS in a few days.  When this GUI is finished, it
will have some very nice features!  I am working hard on it.
