OK. Except, 'CouchOne Mobile for Android' seems to come as a complete package with Android SDK bindings. As you'd expect, no Erlang required/mentioned. I'd be interested to know if an Erlang VM is actually included in the CouchOne for Android package, and, if so, is it possible (or useful) to spin up another node on the phone and connect them natively?

  I've seen a couple of references to the fact that Erlang does, in fact, run on Android, including one here on HN: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1518686 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1518686 and the download page :) http://www.burbas.se/artiklar/erlang-for-the-android-plattform/ http://www.burbas.se/artiklar/erlang-for-the-android-plattfo... and https://github.com/downloads/esl/otp/Erlang.apk https://github.com/downloads/esl/otp/Erlang.apk

  I have not tried, but I can not see why it should not work to spin up two separate VMs and connect them. The distribution between phones is however tested and works. CouchDB have a git repository with Erlang/OTP for android: https://github.com/apage43/otp https://github.com/apage43/otp (Switch branch to Android).
