I just did a like on facebook for this product.  It is a very interesting

linux we should be able to compile xroar on it. Oh the ideas :D

There is a website that I believe is using a java coco emulator.  I have
not tried that site on a android powered browser.  Mainly the only android
device I have is my crappy low grade phone.
