Yesterday I used skritter on my Asus EEE Pad tablet (Honeycomb 3.1). I think it works pretty well and I will be able to use it on my summer holidays :)

But... there are a few things to improve (imho):

1) It's a bit sluggish (sometimes too much), so you write and after a while the line appears. It's ok to draw straight lines but curved ones is almost impossible.

I think this is the most critical issue.

2) When writing, my hand hides the right panel so it would be nice to swap them (writing canvas on the right, info on the left).

3) I miss a button for removing the last stroke ("z" key not available...)

You know, I was trying to work on 1 (slow drawing) yesterday, and I came up stymied. The Android OS just does not want to pass the touch points right away; it wants to hold onto them for a little while, which causes a delay. I am currently out of ideas for improving this behavior, but perhaps later we can come up with something.

For now, I recommend slowing down on the curved strokes, and writing ahead of your cursor--don't wait for it to catch up. With practice, you can actually get it writing pretty fast.

For 2 (hand hiding the prompt), which layout are you seeing? There is already an option to switch your canvas side, in your settings on the study page (the gear in the upper right). If you are seeing the normal, horizontal layout, then that option should work.

I don't think we'll add back the undo button--when we originally had it in there, it hardly got any use. Sorry!

I'm still working on doing some Android layout improvements at the moment, but the performance is a tricky one.

I suppose it's a Flash issue as there are a lot of native Java apps that don't show the slow behaviour. Grrr! :)

As suggested I used the already available option to swap canvas to the right. Perfect!

It's a pity we can use the undo feature in the tablet. I understand that with a keyboard the button was not used but with a tablet there is no other option. Ok, I'll write more strokes.

Btw, I forgot one point:

4) I use the help button sometimes to get one hint but I can't get it right with the tablet, usually I get the whole character.

When I use Fruit Ninja on my GALAXY Tab it's much more unresponsive than on my iPod so I not sure it's a flash problem. It might just be an android problem. Although I have not personally experienced the problem with curved lines (Japanese strokes are mostly straight).

Jose, perhaps if you slowed down your stroke animation speed in the settings, it'd be easier to time it so that you only got one stroke, even with the delayed touch input.

ddapore99, it's possible. I think it's more likely that Fruit Ninja is just not coded well on Android, or is pushing performance limits. Android should be perfectly capable of quick touch response in native apps. It's just not happening in the browser.

nick, today I'll try about the stroke animation speed, but currently is usable.

I don't know about Fruit Ninja but other apps work pretty well when drawing (no delays), so I suppose it's a flash issue (that seems pretty slow in general).

Any plans of a dedicated app?

I'm interested in buying an android tablet, and would like the ability to use Skritter on it. It would be very helpful if people would post their experiences with Android tablets.
