So, in reading some older posts I understand the reasoning behind not creating an app for mobiles since it would drain the battery but what about programming a BOINC manager for mobiles that only runs when the device is plugged in to a power source? It can also monitor the internal temperature sensors to throttle back usage when the device gets too hot. Just thought it would be a great way to get more people involved and may even lead to them installing it on their desktops/laptops later on!

For several reasons.

They have no math co-processor so they take many times as long to do floating point. They have no cooling. Everything is designed to save battery power.
