1. Introduction
======================================================================

Ice for Android provides a complete implementation of the Ice run time
for devices running Google's Android platform. This release of Ice for
Android is a port of Ice for Java 3.3, therefore you can refer to the
Ice 3.3 manual for more information about Ice and the Java language
mapping.

The Ice for Android distribution does not include any Ice services,
but its support for the complete Ice protocol means your Android
applications will work seamlessly with existing Ice servers as well as
Ice services such as IceGrid, Glacier2, and IceStorm.

As with all ZeroC Labs projects, we do not advise using Ice for
Android in mission-critical applications. Also be aware that any
subsequent release of this product may contain changes that break
backward compatibility.
