Hi Nemanja, Thanks for getting back.
There is one (and possibly a second) app which does what I, and I'd imagine others, need it to do. You don't need to jailbreak the phone. However this app is totally inaccessible. The good news is though that I'm in contact with the developers. It is a cross-platform app built on WXWidgets, and they say that if they can find a way to make the app accessible on all platforms they will certainly do so.
