Another comment I would have is that Android frontend was written using YUI JavaScript framework library. Bringing in another framework library like jQuery is questionable systems design action. I can't really be "against" this, because I'd prefer to use jQuery myself (on the other hand, I was once explained why YUI was used there - it turned out it's kinda standard/best practice to use it in Canonical).
