Perhaps we should see about setting up a meeting with the Android development

I think we should support this effort as much as possible, since it'll make mesh on Android work a lot easier.  One concern in Google is whether the hardware universally supports ad-hoc mode, or whether Android would have to make special cases for the hardware that does not support ad-hoc mode.
