A big advantage of the iphone browser is its ability to scroll an inner scrolling box (scrollable div or iframe, for example). It does this by handling a two-finger drag as scroll. I'm not aware of a way to do the same with the android browser.
We also are facing demand for a "desktop" web app to be used on android so we are considering in some cases simplifying the UI to accommodate this. One example is bouncing to a different page rather than using a modal dialog for some interactions. Back on topic for Wicket, scrolling is the only barrier we have seen. Everything else works. For what it's worth, a lot of our ajax stuff is wiquery-based.
