Hi Brett, It will require a server program to be developed for the PC, Mac or Linux computer that is connected to the K3. So, to provide access for Windows, Mac and Linux users there will need to be three different server versions developed. Then a client side application needs to be written to operate on the Android phone (and another for the iPhone for Wayne ;-) ). That client should be able to work through any of the server programs whether they are Windows, Mac or Linux based.
The biggest challenge in my mind is how to put a user friendly interface on the small screen of a Droid or iPhone. It is much easier to design a client side interface for a laptop or desktop PC because there is so much more screen 'real estate' available.
