Has and discussion occured to bring the army builder to the iPhone? If not the engine then maybe a reader to be able to open rosters?

I am not a programmer but I understand the meaning of C,C++, etc. Would this be what would prevent the iPhone app? Couldnt the roster be opened using some convertor program like google docs?

Just food for discussion.

We'll be including mobile friendly output in Army Builder 3.2, as shown here:

In terms of actually running Army Builder on the iphone, there are several problems we'd have to tackle. The iphone dev kit uses "Objective C", while Army Builder is written in C++; you can apparently compile C++ for the iphone, but we'd need to investigate exactly how, and work out how well it would work.

Also, we'd need to totally redesign the user interface, from the ground up - even with the large iphone screen, that's less than 5-10% of the space available on a normal computer monitor these days. Not only that, but all the user interface elements have to be touch-controlled and therefore larger than they are on the screen.

Hopefully the mobile output that we show off in the preview will whet your appetite sufficiently
