A version of Speakup... for your cell phone?

Even if you do have the $600 to spend, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Fore one thing, we know for a fact that speakup runs on x86, and
x86-64 architectures, but I don't recall seeing reports on other
archs. As far as I know, no cell phone out there today uses either of
the x86 architectures.

Second, how do you expect to use speakup with the cell phone, via a
serial synth? In that case, it would hardly be useful as a cell
phone. Ok, granted, there is software speech, but I just don't see a
cell phone having the resources to run speech-dispatcher/speechd-up/
festival/flite/espeak/whatever else.
