There is yet another possibility. Use ConnectBot to connect to a PC running Emacs (daemon). I use MobileOrg for task planning, todo lists etc. But when I write a longer text, I use ConnectBot started with the option 'emacsclient -t --eval "(ibuffer)"'. It is like having a native Emacs on the phone. Press the icon, and Emacs is there after 3 seconds. If you use Swype as input-method, you can even write long texts very fast. Meta and Ctrl are available (press trackball once [CTRL] or twice [Meta], press trackball followed by i for TAB).
