That I was talking about in my earlier post, when mobile discussion
started. It make a sense to port some good libraries, but GUI must be
completely different.
When starting any mobile project, one should ask a question, which
kind of libraries is need. First, one should look for some more native
libraries (Java in case of Android) and in case they are not suitable,
think about porting some foreign libs.

The question is, what kind of features we need in our mobile app ? Do
we need something which does not exists for example in Nutiteq Map
libs [1]?
