Is there a list of problems anywhere to do with running a Wherigo on different platforms?

Sadly I don't own an iPhone and I've had reports of my cartridges not working, yet they do work happily in the Emulator, Garmins and pocket PCs. Likewise, I've recently helped someone get their Wherigo that was built using an iPhone to work on a Garmin. If we knew the limitations/problems, then it would be easier to avoid the problems or make a special edditions.

It would be nice if there was a general list of things to avoid while creating a Wherigo to ensure maximum compatiblity.

To start off:

Garmins can not process "When the player clicks on this character / item". The solution: create your own events/buttons

Thanks - no I don't speak German, but viewing the page in Google Chrome and translating the page does a good enough job to understand what the problems are.
