Laptops/desktops will not go anywhere. People still need them for work
(proper word processing for most).

I like the idea. I'm not that into mobile myself, but I think for
BibleTime its worth the effort. I think the main gains for the project
would be:
1) more users (yay!)
2) potentially more devs (yay!)
3) better backend/frontend interface (refactoring, yay!)
4) refactoring efforts would improve the overall code quality (yay!)
However, there's already the BibleTime Mini effort. Is there a
relation to that?
Blessings!
