I'm just sending and receiving data with a ASMX webservice, due to
compatibility with Windows Mobile (that came with .cfNET 2.0 and don't
support WCF and no one knows at that time that will exists someday something
like JSON). But this being made trying to mimic (the-missing-a-lot) RDA of
SQL Server and SQL Mobile/CE. So I make a rda.Pull and rda.Push as in
Windows Mobile. So I have same code running on Windows Mobile, MonoTouch and
MonoAndroid, for subscribe N tables that SQL Server 2008 express says that
it have to download, and sending back differential data from local tables
that can do it, all decided by server (internally known as Distributor).

So a device with Android, Windows Mobile or iOS can subscribe to tables and
send data back to them, in the same "ecosystem".

Personally I'd stay clear of the overhead of SOAP for embedded devices.
