I emailed mobile-l about this, now I'm moving this discussion to wikitech-l. Rather than repeat myself, here's the thread to read:

Your feedback is welcome here on wikitech-l. Next week we'd like to move the discussion to the wikimediaannounce-l mailing list, but we wanted to first cover it on this main developer list.
Thanks. -Adam
