Hi, I know that there's a DataFinder-Android project on Launchpad. That, to me, means that most likely the DataFinder code base must largely be re-developed in Java.
Last week I've had a play with Kivy [1], which gives the flexibility to write an app that can be executed platform independently on Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, Android and iOS respectively. Kivy apps are implemented in Python, and define their UI in a .kv file separately. Kivy itself uses PyGame and other common hardware accelerated Python packages heavily, and is mainly geared towards offering optional use of multi-touch capable environments. It might be worth looking into whether DF can be tuned towards using Kivy for the mobile client, which then could also be used on iOS, as well as not re-implement the core code base in Java.
