I am using Mobile-Org on my Android phone. And I do use it for input
only. I love the "share with.../Mobile Org"-feature that lets me
easily share web pages, RSS feed entries, and such.

Although plain text todos I prefer to write on my hipster PDA[1]
which consists of a folded paper and a space pen. It is just faster
than grabbing the phone, beat the lock screen, start up Mobile Org,
hit the "new task"-button, hit the entry line to start up the
keyboard, and then ... what was it I wanted to write down again?

For sharing something which is already written, I love it. 

For having stuff from my desktop Org on the road I've had troubles:
I do have /way/ too much stuff on my desktop to blindly add
everything to Org Mobile. And I could not find the time to get a
setup that exports only stuff I need such as contacts, current
errands, ... yet.
