Well, gvSIG mobile, even on a 0.3 version is pretty usable and stable. We have lots of users working with it. My colleagues right now are working on the 1.0 version, but I don't know when it will be released so I think the best option is to place there gvSIG mobile... after testing it on the VM because this week I had strange language behaviour on a linux box.

Anyway, I'll point to the un-official version on the docs if gvSIG mobile finally is added to the VM.
