When you talk about Amber on Android you must think of middle to high end hardware. Even if it's a tablet. On a mid-low end device it will be completely unusable. It is not an Amber only thing, it also applies to any other JS based app. Android's Webview is 3x slower than Chrome, among other quirks that make the interaction unpleasant. One year ago I considered using Amber, then bare JS wrapped with PhoneGap, but ended up using native development, because otherwise the app was going to be unresponsive, and the CPU required would consume the battery in a few hours. Regards, ps: An app like Dr. Geo is a totally different story.
