SketchMap is an example of the kind of "mapping" app that can run on a Palm
device: http://www.palm.com/us/support/jvm/samples.html   Reminds me of the
stuff we used to do on the Apple II.  Kind of reduces your expectations,
doesn't it?  Google Maps on the iPhone it isn't.

OSGeo has a wiki. Still just brainstorming:

Nabble has a Mobile GIS forum in their GIS group of forums with 9 posts:

Looks like ArcPAD will get no serious challenge soon.

I propose we put this idea on the shelf for a year and see if any new iPhone
inspired devices appear.
