Hi Tyler, Marco Bernasocchi is working on QGIS for Android - and is always looking for sponsors ;-)
It works like QGIS on Desktop - but Python is not yet available. You, can however use custom forms, Spatialite and the Offline editing plugin, which can synchronize between a central Postgis data warehouse and spatialite for mobile workers. Postgis is also supported, but you would need a permanent network connection. It probably would need some real world testing, but it looks promising. You need at least a phone with a display size like the Samsung Galaxy Notes or a real tablet, like the Panasonic Toughpad. If you have specific questions, please contact Marco Bernasocchi directly or use http://hub.qgis.org/projects/android-qgis Hope this helps, Andreas BTW: in Switzerland there is a whole group of Forestry engineers that collaborate on the training of QGIS for forestry engineers and the development of tools.
