Arduino always permitted serial communication on pins besides digital 0/1.
 However, the primary builtin serial library "HardwareSerial", which
MeetAndroid.c uses, _only_ allows communication on pins 0/1 and has no
configuration options to change this.

NewSoftSerial provided an alternative to this for at least a couple of
years.  Fortunately, NewSoftSerial is now part of Arduino core!
http://arduiniana.org/libraries/newsoftserial/

I've looked at switching over the core library.  It's looking like 2-4
hours of effort, not including testing for backwards compatibility.  Since
MeetAndroid extends the Print class - which SoftwareSerial also extends -
MeetAndroid needs to be refactored.  The result would be configurable pins.
 Also a significant performance improvement should be possible since the
current blocking (CPU stalling) algorithm in MeetAndroid::read() is
unnecessary with SoftwareSerial.

Regards,
Free
