Not difficult, but it hasn't really been done yet.  I don't 
anticipate JNI causing much of a problem, but I need to look into 
it more.

Dan would have to answer the question of how well his iOS support 
integrates with Obj-C and the iOS GUI.

Mobile support is in alpha, meaning it's mostly been used to run 
a bunch of unit tests in the background.  I hope to release a 
beta for Android in the next couple weeks, along with JNI 
integration and sample apps.  Once that's done, you may consider 
using D for such an app, if you don't mind using a beta.
