Login Mobile & Joomla 1.6

A couple of quick questions please. Firstly can you help me understand the purpose of the extension "Login Mobile" - if I were to utilize mobile joomla on a site that had a normal joomla login form would this extension be required to enable logins? Secondly can you please give your timelines for partial and full support for joomla v1.6. FYI I tried to load your current release package into my Joomla 1.6 site but it threw several errors:

JFolder: :files: Path is not a folder. Path: /home/iupcomin/public_html/tmp/install_4d9c9ecdd69c3
JFolder: :folder: Path is not a folder. Path: /home/iupcomin/public_html/tmp/install_4d9c9ecdd69c3
JFolder: :files: Path is not a folder. Path: /home/iupcomin/public_html/tmp/install_4d9c9ecdd69c3
JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find Joomla XML setup file

Thanks

The modules are slightly modified versions of core login module. Of course, we could put corresponding "views" into html/mod_login directories of mobile templates, but many users use 3rd-party or handmade mobile templates, and release of the modules is more universal solution.

We tested MJ0.9.12 on Joomla!1.6.0 and it worked well with one exception: current templates for com_content isn't compatible with new com_content of Joomla!1.6. So the delay is because of we work on new mobile templates for 1.6.

Don't know. Maybe there was changes in Joomla's installer in 1.6.1, I'll check it further. But most likely there was a problem with unpacking of MobileJoomla archive.

Thanks for your prompt reply. Obviously with development there is always uncertainty in terms of timescales but can you give me some idea of your plans- do you currently estimate it will take weeks or months before a fully compatible 1.6 mobile joomla will be available?
