i would like to ask if is in future planes for elxis team to do an mobile version for admin area, in some sites p.e. news portals you have to write articles when you are away from desktop and you have only mobile or tablet

The administration areas, in general, are not friendly to mobiles. You can not display large tables and forms in such small screens. You can not type large texts, you can not use a rich text editor, you can not upload images, you can not handle extensions, etc... Got it? Mobile interfaces are only good to inserts texts like the ones in Twitter or in SMS messages (plain text, 255 chars max, and this quite hard for most people).
A solution just for articles entry is to have an android/iphone application to do this job. A very minimal interface with only a few options and without a WYSIWYG editor.
Even with this it is very hard to type an article from a touch screen. The administration areas requires a standard keyboard and a large screen, the larger the better.

However, being able to publish FAST, "on the move", through a Smart-Phone/Tablet, etc. becomes today of growing importance in real practice, as Babis 1 observed. And, already, it's possible f.ex. to publish Photos/Videos via a SmartPhone/Tablet on Facebook and various other sites, (of which we are not fans)... Therefore, it would be very interesting for Elxis too to acquire such a capacity, at least partly.
=> May be datahell could succeed to find a way to use even the already existing Administration interface, via a SmartPhone/Tablet, in order to publish f.ex. Short Texts and PHOTOS ?
(Currently, if you try that, your Browser remains Idle when you try to upload a Photo, claiming that it's "loading" endlessly... But, perhaps a Solution might be found).
