 > We could just use CSS to hide the number scroll buttons.

 Perhaps but it needs to address all browsers (currently WebKit and Opera,
 soon FF). Also if I remember correctly some css there can freeze/crash
 some versions of Chrome, so... Maybe better not to use css hacks for that.

 > Keep the keyboard on mobile, but don't allow any UI changes.

 That seems to circle back to having a way to detect all mobile
 devices/browsers from PHP (the current $is_iphone global works for most
 but not all). Then it would be as easy as setting these fields to
 type="number" only when on mobile and having the css `input[type="number"]
 { width: whatever; }`.
