Hi! I was developing an application quite similar to yours. Although I had to freeze the project because I'm becoming a father in the coming weeks, and it sure messed up my project schedules :)
I had a site up and running with php and on top of that with the zend framework, which received and responded in simple xml format to queries and updates too. A request looked something like this <request authcode="xxxx" command="location"><location lat="xx.xx" long="xx.xx" accuracy="xx" time="xxxxx"/><tag>Some text</tag></ request> It was easy to parse on the server side, and it was stored in a mysql database. I've chosen XML based communication through http because beside the android application I've been implementing a web based ajax application which could have been used by anyone even without an android phone.
