The latest beta of Firefox 4 on Android (and Maemo) is quite nice. You
can get it here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/mobile/

However, it is lacking the ability to even manually set proxy settings
through any sort of usable interface. Android also lacks the ability to
set system wide proxy settings, which has been a real problem with
getting Orbot (aka "Tor on Android") working for normal users.

I have taken the first step towards porting TorButton to Firefox on
Android, and created a very simple add-on which exposes the proxy
settings. This means you can use Orbot on Android 2.x devices and route
your web traffic through it without needing to root your device! Also,
since I know understand how Firefox mobile add-ons are built, I can now
start engaging with Mike around a full port of TorButton. For now
though, if you are eager to play, you can find "proxymob" here:
