Yep I wonder if that's also a problem for developers. The price of mobile data?
I was stung for over 100 pounds of data charges when I used google maps in New
York. (never google and roam at the same time)
Orange, Tmobile and Vodafone seem to have finally added unlimited data (1gig)
but is that enough?

There are some great apps for Windows Mobile: Google Maps for my
Windows Smartphone is excellent. But only when connected to my PC, because
Virgin Media charge more than a paper A to Z to use it for ten minutes.

really cheap,
things will really take off in this area.

So with all this hype and attention around mobile phones. What
do you
guys think about developing for mobile devices?
How many of you guys already do? Or what's stopping you? Also
is events
like "mobilecamp London"
(http://www.barcamp.org/mobileCampLondon ) and
the "Future of Mobile" (http://www.future-of-mobile.com/
addressing your
needs as a developer community?
Cheers
