Are there any ruby applications that are written for mobile devices
and is there any good framework that helps in developing applications
for mobile devices.

I've written some Ruby applications that use Rails to deliver SMS
applications running under Kannel. I think you are after something
different, which may be running Ruby on the mobile device itself. I
haven't heard much about that but most of the devices now will not run
such a heavy interpreter process comfortably.

There is the WinCE version of Ruby, which some people have gotten
working on their mobile devices (do a search for those). Other than
that, I don't think there is much.

I'm not sure that it will be useful for you, but some programs on the gp2x are
written in ruby. Gp2x is a handled console from corea running linux on ARM
processor. The ruby interpreter runs on it, and some libs too, like rubygame.

I have a gp2x, but I haven't tried yet... I'll take some time to play with
ruby on it, one day :)

This is very encouraging. I am looking at something like this for a
while as I am not very comfortable with high level languages like
C/C++ and Java. I am very thankful to all of you for your inputs on
this mail.

Now I have another question in this regard. I would like to try some
sample applications to get myself familiar with the mobile environment
(I would definitely try the samples on the Symbian website). Can
anyone suggest some good applications / libraries / exercises so that
I can get familiar with mobile computing environment.

Thank you all once again for your contributions.
