ye the numbers are pretty big compared to the other text on the screen but even so it would be hard to fit the minerals names, I was thinking a popup tool tip text, I think that's what it's called in VB...?
I gave the mining another go, it seems it sometimes takes a bit of time for the building to start, im testing it on my laptop at the moment, if I wait it eventually starts.

lol sorry of course, was testing on my laptop last night and completely forgot about the N900...
Perhaps a shortened version of the mineral name? As I said the numbers are pretty big so could shrink them a bit and and a shortened name eg Ca: 1000. Perhaps you could click on the element and it would bring up a discription and at some point some stock market info? Once people play the game they would pick up which is which.

Like Sharps idea of having a low res version, some other web based mmo's have an option like this, Travian has lower res pictures but you can hardly tell the difference, when playing on 2g/3g it can be hard to load everything quickly, a seperate app however limits the other players, if the game is a success it could be moved to other phones
Probably best to tweak these settings near the end though but worth keeping in mind... I like the current building images, no idea where you got em but surely a blue and black images can be compressed far more than a full colour one?

-a second option for those with small internet speed: only pure data truth internet and a desktop program for pictures.
So, people like me can use gnumeric, python or ather apps for fast calculations. That way, maybe, i will learn something usefull playing games.
Anyway, I wish you will build the best game.
