can anyone recommend a method for low latency bi-directional com link between my pc app and android slave app. the app i have works now via wifi but the latency is too slow (about 300mS), i'm looking to get it down to 10mS or so.

the android is acting like a glorified remote control to the game on the pc. the apk displays a low res image and sends button presses back to the game and the round trip need to be quick

i'm thinking the only option beside the network, is to connect a usb cable but i don't see a lot of support for that path and not even sure it would be lower latency than wifi

any ideas please?

USB would have much lower latency, and there's plenty of USB support in Android. Check out http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/usb/accessory.html Bluetooth may also be an option, but I'm not sure if it will get you to the latency you want- USB can.
