I think one would have to think about what a desktop means. Is connecting your tablet to a 24inch monitor and a keyboard considered to be a desktop arrangement? Although the tablet is capable of developing apps, one might not be developing while walking or riding a bus. However, when docked it could be a dev device. Look at Android AIDE. It lets you build apps on an Ice Cream Sandwich device.

Connecting phones and tablets to bigger displays is definitely going to become common. But I'm more interested in developing on the go.

Thanks for pointing to Android AIDE. It looks great. Do you know of any good apps built on it?

Is there any equivalent app for iOS? I know about Codea, but that doesn't let you compile on the device.
