  <p>Boost libraries are intended to be widely useful, and usable across a broad range of applications, but yet there is no official support available for Android and iOS</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Is there any specific reason behind the same like Not optimized for
  embedded devices? Or any other reason?</li>
  <li>Does any body know of any application built using Boost on Android or iOS?</li>
  <li>Is it advisable to use boost libraries for network intense application which spawns   multple threads for commuication?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>FYI..I have been using following links to create a sample Android application , but not successful yet :(</p>
