Wait a second, I thought this is about a full implementation of Bitcoin on top of Android and not some remoting.
You can run bitcoind on the phone. This even makes your wallet compatible with the desktop version.

Wait a second, I thought this is about a full implementation of Bitcoin on top of Android and not some remoting. I'm implementing the whole stack in Java for a native Bitcoin app.
Personally I prefer remote solution because I don't want to have my coins on mobile phone for security reasons. So handling wallet + QR codes are enough for me and I want to support this solution. This does not mean I won't pay you for full Android stack, too.

SSL works in theory. In practice, there's either a bug in browsers or bitcoind that prevents a reliable connection. I hope to resolve that within the next days.
Great, then I send you the rest of my bounty.

Does this qualify for the bounty?
I like your solution (but didn't tested it on phone yet). Unfortunately current version is still unusable because nobody will open own bitcoind RPC to internet and send plain username/password over it. I don't know how difficult is to add SSL layer, but once this will be solved somehow, my 50BTC is yours.
My js-remote is fully working on Android and supports local transactions by displaying QR codes on the phone and scanning them with the camera. It's also possible to display QR codes on a computer and send Bitcoins to it from a phone.

cdecker: I hate ads in Android apps, how about a paid client?
I see some interesting possibilities here. What if the app would transfer a small fraction of a bitcoin to Cdecker, once for every day in which the user made a transfer? Or perhaps, users could send, with the app, a certain amount to Cdecker and in doing so disable the ads?Automatically stealing a few cents per transaction would start the whole mess about the puddinpop cuda client again, don't worry I'll probably stick to opensourcing the core and make an ad based Frontend and give people the option to disable the ads by sending me a few coins :-)
that's about $400... that's a measly amount for work like this that'd take time.
Sure, but people can reasonably add conditions to their bounties that require FOSS attributes.Read the quote I was quoting. It was the person saying whether $400 isn't enough. Hint: it isn't, unless you want to do it & the $400 is a bonus. This is a perfectly doable task but would take quite a while to do to perfection (which personally if I'm taking people's money then I do want to).

Ad supported software has it's place, but not on my hardware. Only open source software qualifies for my bounty contribution.

I hope in the lecture break I'll find some more time to spend on this one :-)
Will you be taking on this project? Where the source code repository for the android client?
It would be great to add support for transfers via the new Near Field Communications standard rather than through a centralized service like bu.mp.

Working on the Java implementation of the protocol: this protocol really has everything a Java Programmer doesn't like, lots of unsigned numbers (unsigned long requires to be mapped to BigInteger...) and little endian, which makes it particularly awful to read stuff from the wire. Anyhow today I read my first single message from the wire dump ^^
