So, then he can to continue the development of Tryton Android Client 
[1], it seems abandoned.

But, I agree with Cedk, after to analize better this topic and to do my 
research, I think that a cross-platform phone client with html5 + css + 
javascript is more flexible, and maybe more contributors join us, 
instead alone developer. I found Cordova Apache [2] seems good platform, 
for start.

Remember this... many Hospital / Health Center managers and medical 
doctors don't have Android, they have iOS    ;)
So then Android client just work in for some employees.
