Can someone recommend a good IRC client for Android tablets? The Android store lists several free ones with 4 to 5 star ratings.  What would you recommend and why do you think it is a better choice over some of the others?

I could use one too. Recently, I've been using AndroIRC, but I would really appreciate one that would list out the channels in a seperate tab using /list.

Yep i second yaaic, but BE SURE to clear out the default exit message
that promotes the product (in settings) or you'll be wondering why
you're getting b& everywhere :).

My favourite by far is Quasseldroid. There is a beta in the google store. It's a port of the Quassel IRC distributed IRC client. It's similar in concept to screen/tmux & irssi. You run a Quassel server on a box somewhere (the desktop version can run standalone as well) and then connect to it with a client - quasseldroid, quassel2go, or the desktop (linux/win/mac) client. The only caveat with Quassel is that there is no DCC support.

Since I mentioned irssi, I feel obligated to mention Irssi Connect Bot It's a modified SSH client intended to make irssi usable on a touch screen. I strongly prefer a GUI on my phone, but this is a pretty sweet setup as well.
