Yes, that's exactly what we're doing with our fetching and sending XML 
data to PHP scripts, it's not assuming an internet connection more than 
once a day.

Don`t think that would change the answers above too much.
Depending on the amount of data the device needs, you mind find it simpler
to simply get a full 'packet' of data once you unload whatever info you
have locally. Keeping in sync is generally a pain in the ass and not always
worth it. If you won`t be working online (and therefore bandwidth is not an
issue) and the data is not huge (meaning it will do a full sync within a
reasonable time) - my advice is not to bother :)

Hi,

My RESTful web service has Apache + PHP + Slim + JSON + Firebird
(PDO) combination. I am using it for the last 2 years. Or you can opt for
Tomcat + Jersey + JSON + Firebird (Jaybird) combination also.

Regards.

 I am facing the exact same issue with an app I want to develop. Is there a
 place you can point me to to learn more about the options and how to
 implement them? I recognize the issues presented, just not sure what the
 best approach is to solving them .

I have used Ruby (Sinatra) in the past (though I`m not too excited about
the Firebird support, it is working), which does provide a rather easy
start. Currently going with Clojure, which achieves results with even less
code/effort (once you get over the lisp concepts) and offers a single .jar
file to deploy.
I assume there is something similarly pleasant to work with for Python.
More traditional Java-based solutions would act just as well, but they
would require a lot more code being written. Same goes for C# if you prefer
.Net.
In the end, there are way too many choices out there to have a right one.

Hello.

On the options I saw, Web service seems to me the best choice.
