Not sure if you want to join some OS project or you are just curious about current android scene.
Anyway I will use this for a bit of self promotion though - we have just released public alpha version of source code editor on android - http://www.touchqode.com
We have bigger goals with it - just for now we want to make code editing on mobile phones easier.
It might not fit general idea of cool (for us it is definitely cool) since our post http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1759122 just sunk :)
Downloading now! I didn't see this before, glad you re-posted. Not sure if I would ever actually use my phone like this, but there's only one way to find out...
Have just downloaded this - will definitely give it a try. I can imagine using this to run one-off scripts, in the way I currently use LINQPad on my laptop.
Yes we are definitely planning to look into more options of how to get your source files to your phone - FTP and CVS/SVN among them.
At this moment we suggest you synchronize your source files with your development computer using dropbox. There is a writeup on what setup we use ourselves in FAQ section http://www.touchqode.com/faq.htm#synchro
There is an paypal library for donations (the link is hidden in the linked version) which uses this permission. More info here: https://www.x.com/docs/DOC-2532
Other than that we don't use it in any way but I understand it might rise concern.
