I have released an initial version of ClearOS Mobile Demo for Android.
To install:
# yum install app-mobile-demo
Once installed, you can find the demo under System > Developer > Mobile Demo. From that page you can click on Download & Install to get the app from Google play.
Just a few points to reiterate:
- This is a developer demo! Don't expect a full-featured app that provides much of any real world use.
- After you have added a new system to the application, you may have to wait up to 10 minutes before you start to see data synchronizing. This all depends on how many other sync accounts you have (GMail, Facebook, Twitter, Dropbox, etc). This is apparently "normal" behavior.
- The app will install on Android 2.1 and up, but older API versions do not support periodic data sync, this has to be done in some manual way. Periodic sync works from API level 8 (2.2.x FROYO) and up.
- The password you use to authenticate with is never stored on the phone. It is used once to obtain a session cookie. These cookies will expire after 2 hours. You will be notified with a sign-in error when the session expired. I will be updating the Webconfig/CodeIgniter framework to extend sessions time-outs dynamically so this won't be an issue for future real world apps.

Nope, I don't... other than for read-access, your lowest common denominator will of course be the slower "green" drives. As you mentioned, the bottle neck in your case will always be network I/O, so this should not be an issue for you provided there won't be any other heavy I/O tasks happening internally on the server.
I'm in the process of completing a "mobile demo" Android/ClearOS application. The target audience will be other developers. We hope to see third-party Android apps based off of the new ClearOS 6 framework. I personally will be writing a simple monitoring app based off of work I started long ago. So I guess the simple answer would be: it's coming soon(-ish)!
