Is there any WEP cracking application available for android?
If not is WEP cracking technically possible with the API's and hardware available on your average android phone?
This is a purely academic question please leave ethical arguments out of it.

There is nothing available. While it is theoretically possible with the hardware, in practice it would be very difficult to implement and would probably need a custom ROM that supported it.
Even the tools for doing this on a desktop (Aircrack, etc.) generally require specific wireless chipsets and drivers to do wireless packet capture.
EDIT:
There's now a project that got monitor mode working on the Galaxy S2 and the Google Nexus One.
