Thanks for the tip. Gives me a few ideas wrt OL. Seems like I have to get the latest OL trunk for mobile support, non?

By the way, I mentioned this earlier when you first announced jeobrowser. I can't use that because you have reserved all rights to it. From the code

 * jEOBrowser : javascript Earth Observation Browser
 * Copyright(c) 2008 - 2010 Jerome Gasperi
 * All rights reserved

Second, I am trying to find some documentation, and other than the minned js file, I can't find any tutorial or docs.

The above two issues are a show-stopper, no matter how good the show.

Hope you are able to address them soon.

Many thanks,

Puneet.
