To answer number 1:

I was planning on investigating the following scenario:

1) Setting up a web server to talk to the Universe machine
2) Using JQuery mobile and PHP to connect my mobile devices to Universe

http://jquerymobile.com/

This is NOT a local app on the device scenario, and would require the user
to have a Wi-Fi or 3G connection to use.  However, where I'm located (in an
urban area), every kid on the street has an iphone or android device or
something of that nature.

To answer number 2:

Local development usually depends on how long Management wants to wait for
us to get it done (there are only a couple of us)

To answer number 3:

Not really... I like to learn new things, but, its usually how skillful I
can be at ignoring the interruptions and project overload.
