Android Players-XOOM-Keyboard and UI
Okay, I am generally enjoying the game, having just joined using my XOOM. However, I do have some immediate feedback from my time in game. I know plugins are available on the core game, and would like to see some sort of plugin manager for Android customers, that handles downloading/installing them. This might be more suited for a 3rd party, however.
My biggest point of feedback is the in-game keyboard. Sensitivity is mysteriously poor, spacing is terrible, and the lack of multitouch support renders it very close to unusable. Even simple sentences take several minutes to type. Despite the increased real-estate usage, you might be better off using the standard Honeycomb keyboard.

Plugins go in a folder on the /sdcard right? If that's the case then a 3rd party app could do the plugin installation.
We're working to be improving the internal keyboard. Using the Android's own keyboard can be a big performance hit, especially on Froyo. Sensitivity may be improved by support for the Gingerbread input APIs. Spacing is definitely a known problem. I wasn't actually personally aware of the lack of multitouch. We'll check into that.
