Sounds great.

So your way to overcome the native-code <-> user interface barrier on 
Android is to make the apllication a web server and access it via the 
browser ?

I understand the executable has a built-in web server, so it is _not_ a 
CGI. Correct ?

Did you already succeed in managing the usual obstacles of this: 
creating timers, notifying the main thread from worker threads, doing 
application initiated "active" user notifications on the web-page ?

Thanks a lot !
