Smartphones+portable devices - since the set of people reading 
this will exceed those that use D everyday, maybe this is also a 
chance to say what can be done.  (Half the D people didn't even 
know - we hide our light under a bushel too much).I don't know 
the exact details but something like:

GDC and LDC are available as beta versions for use on ARM Linux 
and are distributed with some Linux distributions such as Arch.  
Some users report success compiling and running projects of 
reasonable size on these platforms.

Work on iOS and Android ARM continues.  Phobos unittests mostly 
compile (the failures are of minor significance) and small 
applications have been successfully written and run on these 
platforms.  As the porting effort reaches completion, the next 
stage will be library support for the platform.

Objective C??

Hasn't there been more progress on embedded than you report?  Ie 
people have actually been able to run hello world on various 
variants (which maybe should be named), and it looked 
superficially like one would be able to use D to get real work 
done (although I am not sure about it) if one could do without 
Phobos.
