Are there any official or unofficial (community) plans to deliver QML controls for mobile platforms. I'm talking native look sand feel.

I don't think it would be hard thought slightly complicated. If there aren't any maybe we can get a github collaboration going?

The complicated part is that there are several approaches to how people approach mobile development:
1. Native look and feel (platform specific) iOS -or- Android
2. Common look and feel (platform agnostic) iOS -and- Android
3. Meta-programming look and feel (platform specific) "I have these intentions, map it to the platform concepts for me."

So it can get pretty complicated. Especially since there isn't feature parity or even shared vocabulary between platforms.
IOS/ANDROID:
Navbar / Action Bar
(      ) / Navbar
Sheets / context popup menus

Still, I think it would be a worthwhile effort to collect all the efforts to one place. 

We can manage which approach with a simple import:
import mobile.cupertino
import mobile.mountainview
import mobile.common

And when/if we get a meta paradigm:
import mobile.helsinki

*Note I'm using cities because the platform "names" are likely trademarked/copyrighted.
