Porting git-annex to Android will use the Android native SDK.
## goals
A hopefully small Java app will be developed, which runs the webapp
daemon, and a web browser to display it.

and also have to `cabal install` all necessary dependencies.

I've heard anecdoally that ipwnstudios not only has an IPhone GHC port,
but also Android. Need to get in touch with them.

### Android specific features
The app should be aware of power status, and avoid expensive background
