This is particularly good if we can take advantage of native sockets on ios and
/ or there is a socket plugin for phonegap

An open investigation item I have for socket.io is how they do their cross-site
i/o. Not sure if they depend on CORS or can use some other mechanism. If they
can support cross-site i/o for iOS 3.1.x, it would mean we could actually
support iOS 3.1.x in weinre, which we can't today. Same with some older
versions of webOS.
I think converting to socket.io would be relatively straight-forward, but I
wasn't particularly happy with the Java server impls I saw floating around. At
this point, moving to socket.io would also likely mean moving to node for the
server piece at the same time.
*davejohnson commented June 23, 2011*
agreed. I think socket.io and node go hand in hand.
