The nice thing is that Loadstone is sstill completely useable on Nokia devices. 
Further, we will probably be able to buy these devices secondhand for the 
foreseeable future. Finally, with Symbian basically dead, we are free to just 
root our phones and install LS, dev cert or no dev cert. Personally, I'm good 
with that.

Unfortunately like it or not touch screens seem to be here to stay. The only 
thing we can do is make the best of it. That will probably involve making 
creative use of the screen itself as well as providing support for external 
hardware like bluetooth keyboards etc that would make things easier.
As for development itself, at the moment we're dead in the watter, we need 
funds to buy development hardware (mainly a mac mini) and purchase a developer 
certificate. Until that happens we can't even start working on an iphone 
version.
