-------------------------------
Resurrecting this thread!!!
I wish we had WebSockets in Android, since I'd use that to communicate with the
Callback Server instead of the long-polling XHR. That should point out that our
native bridge isn't quite ready for Cross-Mobile Socket Support at this time.
I thought I wrote this last month, but apparently not.
In short, we need a better bridge to get this feature, otherwise we should just
use socket.io for Android.

> I tested the use of socket.io in an iOS app and I was able to successfully
> communicate back and forth from mobile to desktop. All I did was grab the
> same socket.io script hosted from the node.js server (as a quick test)... Of
> course, this may be cool and all, but I'm not sure how "cross mobile" it is.
> How hard will it be to create native socket support for most (or all) devices
> so developers can talk to socket.io servers (or any other service) natively
> without including the socket.io client scripts?
