Can a Couchbase application work with no network connection (like CouchDB)?

Question

I'm building an application where users running android tablets will have to be able to write to a database (running on their local device) with NO network connection and sync using peer-to-peer replication (through a USB connection or possibly bluetooth). I'm working in West Africa, where internet is basically nonexistent.

I know that CouchDB will work for this use case, but it seems like it's difficult to get CouchDB running on Android (compared to Couchbase). Will Couchbase work for this project?

Thanks! - avi
