Here I'd suggest you to keep your focus only on Android development during the application. You will have the community bonding period to think about other things when the design you come up with for Android development is not big enough to fit into three months coding period. David will agree on this I believe. Do one thing at a time. Since you are already familiar with Android development, you can make a good progress there. In addition to asking the questions you have, update us time to time about your status if possible. Please keep in mind that I'm not an Android user either.
