My thought is that if a second layout (or two or three) will be done to improve how things are displayed on such a relatively small screen, why not spend the same amount of time creating a new gui using the tools provided by the Android SDK. There are probably other features that would be nice to have on a handheld device that I don't think already exist in Zenmap, such as a list of reachable wireless networks, which could also be written into an Android-specific interface.
Thanks for the notes on Android. If there are useful features that Zenmap is missing, there's no reason to add them only to a new mobile interface. Desktop users should get them too. And going the other way, if Zenmap's interface poses problems for small screens, it's better to redesign the interface and get rid of excess crud on the desktop too, not just in a mobile interface that's going to require separate maintenance. There's nothing sacred about the Zenmap interface. It's already changed a lot. I'd love to see a proposal that shows how we can get rid of the left Hosts/Services column--not an effective use of space in my opinion--and present that information in line with the other scan results, while retaining the ability to select a single host or service. I may be mistaken, but I think the Filter Hosts function can do everything the left sidebar can do, just not in as discoverable a fashion.
