welcome to the world of osm addicts :) .

Concerning JOSM development, Fred will surely share some ideas. What Fred 
mentioned a couple of days before at osm-dev was building a cool editor for 
mobile devices. I recently tried to run josm on a N810. It eat almost all of 
my resources, dialogs have been to huge and it didn't respond to stylus/mouse 
press events.

I have no clue if Fred already knows that it is impossible at all to make josm 
running on mobile devices. If not I wonder if it was worth the effort. At 
least it seems to be very promising to map details such as housenumbers and 
other POIs live while being outside.

Any comments welcome,
