Webtide’s open source Jetty webserver has now been ported over to the Google Android platform. The i-Jetty technology now enables mobile users support for AJAX and Comet enabled websites on their Android phones.

The i-Jetty port to the Android open source software stack for mobile devices is billed primarily as a matter of convenience for cell phone users, who can use it to make calls from their PCs, or to access phone-based content such as address books and calendars using a familiar browser interface. According to Webtide, users will be able to view, create, and save changes to files from remote PCs, including address lists, system settings, call logs, and multimedia files.
