I do however use the DropSync app to synchronize my notes to Dropbox. Dropsync can be configured to watch one or more folder for changes and sync them immediately when a file is created/updated. It also regularly pulls in new/updated files from your dropbox. As soon as I hit `:w` in VimTouch my note is synchronized to my Dropbox.

It is the real Vim (= C source code with no modifications at all) compiled for ARM and wrapped by an Android app to integrate it into the system. It also comes with the entire Vim runtime. It also reads .vimrc and .vim from the sdcard (/sdcard, or on Nexus 7: /storage/emulated/legacy), so you can simply copy your entire Vim config to there (I use dropsync to automatically pull in my Vim config) One reason why I wasn't keen on VimTouch when I first started with Android was because at that time I was using Git to store my notes and a wrapper script to (1) update my notes, (2) start vim and wait for it to close (3) push my notes back into the Git repository. This workflow is not possible with VimTouch (but it is with Terminal IDE and Debian Kit). Switching to Dropbox for my notes has solved this. > Surely similar functionality is possible with iOS.
