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.
