Steph and all, I have been using Droid phones and tablets for admin for well over a year now.
You are quite right that the problem is with the Javascript - there is a very easy workaround (so easy I'd forgotten that I do it!). Very simply, what I do is: With the browser open select menu/more/settings and turn off javascript. Go to the BO admin and enter the username and password but don't log in. Back to menu/more/settings and turn javascript back on. Click login and presto you are working in the Admin gui. I really ought to have a look at the Javascript on the admin home page to see why this happens, but it seems to be pretty much across all the devices and Droid versions I have tried. Maybe it's the same on the iPad too? Have fun.
