Really? Maybe I'm an old-skool kinda guy, but I can't fathom using a tablet or phone to do LaTeX work. I do lots of it, and I can't imagine doing it without a keyboard and vim-latexsuite.

How do you get over all the shifts- and alts- on the Android keyboard to get \ and { and all the other stuff?

Keyboard is designed to address precisely these kind of issues. I'd recommend watching the video.

I'm just guessing, but i can't see any way any custom app could be more efficient than a well tuned emacs.
