Latency on mobile for editing would be kind of sketchy much of the time I would think. Maybe not so bad on wifi, but elsewhere you're lucky to get pings that are sub 200ms on 3G networks.

Also, the stock browser on Android (the non Chrome one) and also the one built into Android Webviews in apps has no websocket support.
