If I remember correctly, Aaron, we agree on more than we disagree.  It's 
just that our disagreements are much louder than our agreements :).

And yes, Droid programming is fantastic.  If you're an RPG programmer 
looking for the WOW factor, I highly recommend Droid.  I wrote a "hot 
order list with email" app in about 40 lines of code, including both the 
client (Java) and server (RPG).  The data was simple enough I could just 
use QtmhWrStout and I was done.

For more complex communications you'd want to use JSON, at which point 
you'd have to decide between a native approach using a JSON library like 
yours or else going to EGL/Java for the services layer.
