One thing to watch out for with MediaPlayer is that the format matters a lot. I've seen the G1 go from 60 FPS to 50 FPS just because I added MP4 music, then act fine once I converted it to highly compressed, mono OGG or substituted it with MIDI. I suppose other apps playing music in the background could similarly really hurt frame rate.
There are a lot of other threads re leaving a finger down. Lots of things have been discussed for that like blocking the UI thread until the input is handled by the game thread or adding a short sleep on the UI thread, upping the priorities on your game/render threads, and catching the event early on dispatch instead of on touch.
