 Increasingly, people want to try running FlightGear on mobile devices, like the Apple IPhone/IPad, Android phones or Nokia Maemo devices. FlightGear isn't currently optimized for such devices, so that it would require a fair amount of customizations to make this happen, not just optimization-wise, but also related to the user-interface, i.e. lack of keyboard/mouse/yoke and screen space.
