I am planning to retrieve SMS/MMS messages from an Android phone. The phone 
will be connected via an USB cable to a windows xp pc.

I am going write an Android program using socket, another on PC; I suppose 
these two components can communicate via sockets.

But I do have a doubt. Normally sockets are done through network interface 
card.

In the situation above, the phone and PC is connected via a USB cable. Would 
there be any problem ?

Thanks.
