If it is to slow to beat the replacement that is sent out after the
deadline, it is completely worthless as no science would be accepted.
Yes, there are some tasks that are integer based. These at least have a
chance of returning valid work before the deadline. The ones that require
floating point have no chance at all.
Natively Integer and non-CPU intensive tasks are the only ones that should
be seriously considered for porting. Integer tasks need to know if the
phone is running on batteries or not.
A phone version is of strictly limited usefulness as many projects will not
be able to use the devices.

Exactly. And that is about what I am speaking - let us say at least SOME
persons would donate time of their phones.
For John:
You are right, however it is possible to prgoramm many tasks in whole
numbers - for example some MP3 en/decoders are able to do that...
WE are all BOINCng because we want to, so even if it will be very slow, it
would be nice to know, that man is doing something important for mankind.
Native applications are great deal, however they are not portable - it may
be acceptable on x86 Windows wuth 95 % share, however moble platforms are
EXTEMEKLY different! They even use different processors so who would
compile
tens of versions for all mobile phones? Nobody I expect...
