If there was a better solution for mobile devices, I would use it in situations
where I wanted to make a few quick posts.  At this time, that's not easy, have
to jump through a few hoops with either NNTP (better UI for a phone, but
synchronisation issues, becayse status information is kept client side), or QWK
- better data integrity, but UI not as mobile friendly (either window too small
or overlapping keyboard).

HotDogEd and AfterShock aren't a solution, because for me, a point on a phone
has the same synchronisation issues as NNTP, if not worse, because is
effectively a separate FTN system.
