Well, of course an RSX-based smartphone isn't going to happen, BUT
with an Android based phone you could run a simh PDP11 simulator 
running RSX and likely have it talk to the internet via your (Johnny's)

development tools for a couple of years, but the github makefile 
worked fine the last time I tried.  :-)
