Using commercial provider (Ombiel) to build mobile apps. Initial iphone app release scheduled for end of September 2010, Blackberry and android versions will be ready early 2011. Will use these initial apps as part of requirements gathering for development of future widgets/apps. Project hoping that this will allow more focused user requirements.
