For Android, you can use several tools: -*Vespucci *works like JOSM : Download of a defined area, editing, then upload the set of data *-OS Map Tunner *: unlike Vespucci, this tools is *really *designed for mobiles: very friendly and easy editing of items on the current Map. You can also add new POI with categories of tags, just like Potlach.
