how would one start developing cross platform mobile apps with this? From what I have read, they only provide the GUI part? So the logic (GPS, Contacts etc) has to be handled by something else? Anyone knows?

For now, yes. But we are working on it. Recently, we released Pyjnius (http://github.com/kivy/pyjnius) to access dynamically Java from Python. That way, we can access to various Android API without any Java code. We are doing the same with objective-C: pyobjus (http://github.com/kivy/pyobjus), but not yet finished.

Take a look at http://pyjnius.readthedocs.org/

I was wondering the same. Seems to me that it's mostly limited to games then.. Probably some interfaces for webapps which don't rely on phone APIs..

It's not limited to game, check the gallery :) It's funny because before we did the contest, peoples was thinking it's not made for games...

How good is twisted working? That should give nearly every internet protocol to the developer :D

Especially IMAP/POP/SMTP (+SSL)? :)
