This is very exciting. Here is the APK I downloaded. And the associated discussion.
It even already seems to support stylus input which is very exciting seeing as there has been talk of porting RNote to Android.

The point is to make it too expensive for them, so they leave you alone (or, ideally, totally die but that's a long way off). They're making a choice to harvest data on your site. Make them choose not to. It saves energy in the long run.
They’re making way more money off the data they get from the website than they waste on the POW.
If you really wanted efficiency then make a plain text version of the web page that doesn’t require them to do expensive JavaScript and other Ajax BS. Or shit give them a legitimate sitemap too.
Yet there are countless examples of webmasters alleviating traffic that is crushing their sites by deploying this solution. The reasoning is up in the air, but the effectiveness is there.
