<p>Hi Linas,<br>
GSoC projects have to be open soirce, so as long as you are allowed to release IOS code under an open source licence it could qualify.<br>
My personal preference would be for a cross platform application. Have you considered taking last year's mobile project and building on that to be a finished product?<br>
Your proposal will need to explain what you propose to do, and why that will be better than existing applications.<br>
I look forward to seeing your proposal. Please submit it as soon as possible so that we have time to review it and ask questions if necessary.</p>
<p>Regards</p>

my name is Linas Valiukas, I'm from Vilnius, Lithuania. I study<br>
journalism here, but no worries, I was a programming nerd from day one<br>
:)<br>
<br>
So, question: which platform/framework would be the best for creating<br>
a mobile POI collector? I don't think Qt Quick would do because it is<br>
nowhere near mature on the iOS, and it would be nearly impossible to<br>
follow "mobile design guidelines" as they differ between platforms. I<br>
don't see how HTML+JS solutions (e.g. PhoneGap) could work well too.<br>
<br>
So, my idea would be to go with the iOS platform only and create the<br>
application for the iPhone/iPad/(whatever Apple comes up with in the<br>
near future). iOS by far is the most active platform in terms of<br>
application usage and has a huge user base.<br>
<br>
Would the iOS-only application do as the GSoC proposal?<br>
