Description

I tested the use of socket.io in an iOS app and I was able to successfully communicate back and forth from mobile to desktop. All I did was grab the same socket.io script hosted from the node.js server (as a quick test)... Of course, this may be cool and all, but I'm not sure how "cross mobile" it is.

How hard will it be to create native socket support for most (or all) devices so developers can talk to socket.io servers (or any other service) natively without including the socket.io client scripts?
