Scala Comet and Mobile Applications

Question

I'm exploring using Scala with its Comet facilities for my next project and was curious if anyone had experience using Comet (not necessarily Scala) with:

• WebOS
• Android
• iOS

All these phones are WebKit, which should mean that my Chrome tests would work equally well, but I don't know how long-polling connections work over 3G (or whether they eat the battery alive).

Thoughts?

Answer 1

Look at the answer to Android service with long living HttpConnection

It seems to suggest empirical evidence of battery munching, albeit for a slightly different reason.
