Phones tend to jump from WLAN to 3G or back every three minutes, which 
makes any protocol based on long-lived TCP connections philosophically 
difficult. Possible to implement, of course, but difficult to do in a way 
that fits well with the design choices that led to it being based on 
long-lived connections.
