I've not forgot about it.
As I wrote, I have to take 2-3 weeks break
(https://mail.osgeo.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=discuss&msgNo=895)
I should be back after FOSS4G 2006 and I hope to continue
discussion/activities on this subject.

Personally, I always C/C++ (and stick to ISO C++ as much as I can)
for mobile development: portability, robustness, I am a C++ fun :-)
I can work with every Web scripting engine.

I don't have any.
