Has some clever person found a way to access, query, and modify an IQ database remotely from an Android app?
 
I would like to be able to maintain a "to-do" list in IQ and access it from my android phone.

I've always wanted to add an auto-export of grid content to dropbox or other sync engine. This would allow easy read-only access to your data.
When I get the time...

Well, here is my brilliant idea, haha.
 
Allow specific items to be defined as "sync items".  If an item is defined as a sync item, the contents of the item (fields and their respective values) would be written to a (individual?) plain text file in a specified folder (e.g. a folder in the user's dropbox).  The user could edit the values in any plain text editor in any platform.  IQ would monitor this folder for changes, and when changes are detected, would sync the changed values to the IQ database.  Of course I'd need an Android to-do list app that would pull its content from these plain text files.  Or perhaps the "sync items" could be synced to a CSV file or something like that.  Maybe there is an Android CSV viewer/editor out there that I could use for my to-do list app.
