Norman,

I put some details of most popular mobile operating systems just for
discussion purpose, to be sure we've analyzed the subject in details.
I'd be inclined to focus on Linux only, but I'm sure it needs to be
discussed.

Although, I also sure that supporting Windows CE-based
platforms like Pocket PC would help to spread the project.
But I also know we have limited resources, so to start-up the projects
quite fast, we will likely need to focus on one platform.

Next, after the project will be mature and it will become more popular
in mobile developers, we could try to port it to Windows CE or Palm OS
or any other mobile device.

Cheers
