Do it as Game Maker does it already - it doesn't convert GML to Delphi/C/machine code. You build a Java runner and shove in a GMK. That's why GM EXEs can be decrypted.

It's capable of 3D acceleration (as we've seen with Audiosurf Tilt among other titles) and 720p playback. The main problem with Zune is the small market share.

DS,PSP why would you even spend time? The Zune sucks hardware wise. Apple has far to much things shoved up there *** to care about something as "Indie" as Game Maker. The only real handheld would be the Android Platform. Everyone who has said that the Android is capable of running anything has not seen the power. I wouldn't know anything about converting GML to Java but.. "Android! If there was ever a clear, open source and growing platform to choose it was that. No license fees, virtually non-existant checks on the market place, an open-source SDK and even an emulator. (for Android). Baring in mind that there are also Wii and DS emulators, I am not sure about the PSP, and definetly NOT for iPhone (so people can test their games on the PC, compiled for the platform in question)."
