It is because it is very difficult to do for the mass public because of all the vast differences in templates, mods installed on a site (custom and 3rd party), expectations of how it should look, etc. Also another complexity is the vast number of browsers out there for mobile phones. It's actually worse than making templates to work for all computer browsers. There are some very significant quirks for some mobile browsers that are a pain to code around.

We will sell the mobile mod to those wanting it, but we are also attempting to rewrite it for 4.4.x at a minimum. We haven't decided what the plans are for earlier versions yet.

I hope that helps.

Thanks,

Carrie
