As it happens, I have a version of Vim running on my generic Android
tablet with dual core ARM7 CPU.

VimTouch is a version optimized for touch screen operation:

You can also get the optional full Vim runtime, which gives you things
like ex mode:

Source is at https://github.com/momodalo/vimtouch

Works fine here in limited testing, though an external keyboard is
really preferable to touch nscreen and onscreen virtual keyboard.
