The problem is that mobile platforms use completely different UI
toolkits and also have completely different UI needs etc. For now, the
best I could imagine on mobile platforms would be a capable ODF
document viewer (unlike the existing viewers for Android).
Anyway, on the whole I'd agree to the notion that we need a mobile,
touch-oriented version of LibreOffice to stay afloat. Since porting to
new toolkits/new UI paradigms is a huge pain, I think the best would
be to see if there is a company stepping forward with a plan on how to
make money from free software here... I don't know if I see this
getting far without corporate support. I know that SUSE's heavily
involved in TDF already, but even if they went head-on into such a
project, the desktop product would probably stall and they'd still
need more developers.
