Although an OS X (Quartz) backend would be more appropriate IMO. Also the OpenGL backend could be finished. But: On handheld devices with touch screen and gestures one can not use the widgets which have been designed for mouse and keyboard. So one should not underestimate the necessary expenditure to make a development tool for tablet computers and smartphones. Implementing a backend for SFML probably is the smallest piece of the task. Every product has its own widgetset and controls where the user is familiar with. So probably it is the best to use the native API's on handheld devices with there limited resources. On desktop computers the situation is different.
