Any thoughts anyone on if this is worth porting to a 3?

My thoughts are the effort to get it onto the later devices may not be so major, but fear the emulator overhead would kill the point on the lower devices.

Input anyone on that?

I should stress that this is not something I personally could undertake - in the short term anyway - being way behind in many things already

however a long term view never hurts and if there was enough support and good reasons for this certainly would look to support the effort.

Probably on the higher devices first and then backwards if the results look promising.
