If you want maximum compatibility, just use RSA.

I wrote that blog post :) You can install an additional
JCE provider and use ECC (or any algorithm supported by the
provider), even if it is not supported by the platform. However,

Android's SSL sockets are implemented using native
OpenSSL code, and thus JCE providers are not used.
I haven't checked in detail, but most probably you can't
get it to use ECC for SSL without modifying the platform.
In short, just use RSA. If you really, really need to use EC,
get someone to look at the source, and possibly modify
the platform.
