This part would be interesting, I perennially wish I could code on my tablet, but the IDEs there are just too awkward.
The big issue is, I still want a touch-type interface (like a keyboard) so that I can rapidly access many different concepts, but the Android UI is just too constrained by me having to peck slowly one key at a time.
I.e. the problem (there) is not the code, it is the input method. What I really need is the ability to access my idioms with multiple fingers, but without smudging my feedback loop (the mobile screen).
Perhaps some method of inputting code as symbols with a stylus could work better? Although it might still be very awkward...
