Thank you Walt, for giving more insight about Apple. I also really doubt if
Apple would let Nmap to run on iPhone at first place. As already Maemo
supports Nmap pretty well, I think Zenmap could be possible using QT/GTK.
Still if some Nmap developer feels that porting Nmap to iPhone is a
possibility, please help in someway. Maybe Android is much open platform for
Nmap?
