God willing, it'd be possible to stuff a full GIS suite into one's pocket and head out to the field. It's a real matter of picking a platform and running with it. Extreme-mobile computing is very diverse in it's solution set but I think the two best starting points are iPhones and Android phones as they have the most UI components figured out. Other proprietary OS's are a bit niche and the "not much more than a phone" phones will have limited visualization capabilities.</div><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><div style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt"><br><div style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><font

<div>Well, I looked in my wallet and $5 fell out. Is that enough? (Just a little humor) Seriously though, this is something that really intrigues me. I'm sure Bob already knows this as I have told him my desires/plans for its use. The key, for me, is the ability to edit/save changes to data. Whether it be moving objects or metadata associated with an object. If there is something I can do to assist, I'm ready.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am also interested in hearing the types of capabilities other folks are after, as I have some myself.</div>
