Thanks for the detailed reply. Very appreciated. I´ll scan through the
links.

I looked at magic framework and the resulting trader app in particular. It
seems to me like the app-screens don´t look very iPhony. But I am new to
this and probably not the right person to judge this.

Thanks again,
Elmar
