Apps Android Application Development & Infrastructure

[gvk7272]

Hi,

My idea is to develop an android app aimed at smartphones and tablets.
The articles and analysis in the app will be based on the data available in 3 different website and i already got contracts in place from the website owners to use the data available.

App features:
App users will provide feedback on the content provided.

My questions are

1) What is the hardware infrastructure i need to consider to support app.
2) How does the data feed from website/s to app work,Can i automate it or it has to be done manually.

Thanks in advance
