I think that the Channel API uses XMPP under the hood (as mentioned here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMXe-xK0BWA at about 13:20). I do not see why we could not have a Java or Python client library for Channel API. There is some information about it in this thread (http:// groups.google.com/group/google-appengine-java/browse_thread/thread/ d0401a784d4171c8). Posts 9 and 10 are relevant. It would be nice if we could use the Channel API on Android. Maybe an issue (feature request) should be raised.
@Peter - are You saying that a Java client library to use with the Channel API would be impractical/impossible to implement. Could You elaborate a bit.
