[Pianod] mobile application already working =)

[Michael R. Hines]

Oh, the app is *very* buggy - it's not your devices, it's the app =). I
wrote in a few hours from scratch with lots of coffee =)

I'm not taking any locks around the networking code, so sometimes
requests to Pianod get overlapped with other requests and things get
confused, so the app stops responding to your commands.

I would be *more* than happy for you to contribute - just start hacking
on it anyway you like, and I'll happily merge things for you.

The first thing would be to add some locks/synchronization around the
various events......

And regarding iOS, yes, the *only* way to install (thank you Apple) is
to have an actual Mac laptop and an IOS developer account to allow you
to deploy apps to your device - unfortunately, it looks like the only
one who has a Mac here is Perrete =).
