STEP using Crosswire

>>> Dear Chris & David
>>> You are both having some interesting thoughts!
>>> I'd like to aim for as many platforms as possible.
>>> Africa has more phones than PCs, and that is likely to continue.
>>> Phones seem to evolve and improve quicker than PCs.
>>> I usually lag behind with such things (I hate the hassle of being an
>>> early adopter),
>>> and yet my phone (Toshiba G910, £150) has a 800x480 screen with 16Gb
>>> on a microSD card,
>>> and I imagine this kind of thing will become more and more available.
>>> I suppose we will also have to bear in mind low res cut-down units
>>> like iPhones
>>> which only have 320x320 resolution (I think) but I'm sure this will
>>> improve too.
>>> We don't want to keep up to date with lots of operating systems,
>>> especially things like iPhones which are mostly locked down,
>>> so we want to be as standard as possible.
>>> I had a quick look at the Google Gears page and saw something which
>>> heartened me:
>>> Compatible with: *
>>> Windows XP/Vista * Firefox 1.5+
>>> and Internet Explorer 6.0+ *
