I'll leave it as an exercise for you Java coders out there... ;)
ObjectiveC is unreadable, but at least it allows us to seamless mix C code in it, so that part was easy. With android, I guess we're talking about use a java wrapper, which might be a more complex task.
Besides, latency is still something of a question.
