There are some potential alternatives for various other platforms that 
might help until MapZen gets ported to each of them, which I hope it will

For android there seems to be Vespucci, for Nokia internet tablets there 
is Osm2Go and owners of java phones can use GpsMid that also has a POI 
collector included.

As far as I can tell, non of these alternatives are soley dedicated POI 
collectors and thus might not be as user friendly as MapZen, but for the 
enthusiast mapper they can potentially offer more.

For a lack of an android phone or a internet tablet, I have not tried 
out either Vespucci or Osm2Go myself, so I can't say for sure if they 
work and fit the bill.
