For some reason there has been no Emacs on Android which is a glaring
deficiency in the platform, even the Palm Pre had an Emacs port. Finally
someone in Poland has started a project but it looks like he's not very
experienced. I tried it on my Nexus 7 and it seg faults when you try and
start it. He's just trying to do an Emacs in a terminal emulator which is
fine, Emacs was written for terminals in the first place (I've been using
it since ITS Emacs came out on the Dec System 20 at the end of the 1970s).
If there are any Emacs developers reading this please give this guy some
help if you can. I'm sure I'm not the only Emacs user who is desperate for
an Emacs on Android.

BTW it works a little better than my initial post indicated. It's
sensitive to font size, it works for small fonts and seg faults on larger
fonts (> 10 on the Nexus 7, >6 on the Galaxy Nexus). It's a good start.
