Actually, I found a (free) app written by someone that implements a driver for the Prolific USB-Serial port chipset. (Orginally written to support Tablet to Router/Switch for command line changes)

Native BlueTooth on Android supports serial communications, however most target radio devices do not. (Ok, I did see that Baofung released a BT adapter - that costs 150% of the radio cost.)

I am not a chirp developer but I would have thought the single largest problem is that most android devices do not have a physical serial port ?
