Fortunately our toolbar always exposes the 'play' button that does
Shift-Enter, so it seems to me that the only show-stopper for mobile
editing is an 'Edit' icon.

Is that the case?  While, as Brian mentioned, full mobile support is a ways
off, if we could make a simple tweak to the existing code that *allows* for
mobile use (albeit with a sub-par UI), it would already help a lot of early
adopters start using the notebook.

So having a list of the minimal blockers that can be fixed easily would be
useful.

Cheers,
