Come test the @interledger support in Chrome for Android and build a payment app at our hackathon on 2 June:

 

 

It also looks like Android apps will be soon able to send payments using the ILP (this link is for Chromium, not Chrome):

Every payment that uses ILP can potentially use XRP and XRP is especially suited for ILP. 

Therefore, each Android device will be able to use XRP (directly or indirectly) for making payments.

I wasn't aware of it - great find !

For XRP implementation into Chromium may turn out to be an excellent "propellant" to ignite the XRP fire even more 

Think of it... Android users on ILP... that would be the trigger for exponential growth indeed...
