Theres is absolutely no need for android wallet to stake in my opinion.
With an average stake age of 30 days, this would be something totally pointless. I would trade mobile staking to better battery life without a doubt!

In my opinion, your opinion hits the nail on the head. Couldn't agree more.
Although staking is unnecessary for phone use, tablets will benefit from staking. You would be able to keep your whole wallet on your tablet.

Staking won't be included in the initial release of the app, but it'll be added with an update in a couple of weeks, hopefully within 20 days of its release. This is very easy because everything required for staking is included in the library. But our first target for the android wallet should be stability, usability and marketing.

I'm thinking of preventing staking of any transaction smaller than a fixed amount, so CPU cycles and battery won't be wasted for trying to stake 1 MINT.

Sounds like a good idea.

I'll be using my computer only for staking and my phone and tablet for sharing and spending.

I suspect that will be the case for most people, I could be wrong.
