Photo Editing on Android Tablet

Does anybody use an Android Tablet for Raw Editing?
I have an old Macbook Pro Mid 2009 running Ubuntu Linux with Darktable which I use for photo editing these days but it is getting a little long in the tooth now and I have no other need to purchase a replacement other than photo editing. I shoot with a K-5 but may upgrade at some point.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 TAB 9.4 it has an SD Card Slot, I am hoping I can do the majority of photo work from my Tablet.

What Apps or Workflow would people recommend.

Thanks

I've asked this before in a similar type of thought process as you but the overwhelming consensus was that it's not the best idea.

Three words..."color managed workflow", plus one three more "screen real estate".

Second item first; 2048 x 1536px sounds like a lot, but small screen along with touch screen ergonomics and UI overhead does not sound like fun for anything other than review/cull actions.

In regards to colors, what one sees on a most mobile device screens is an exaggeration in regards to intensity and contrast with no option to tune/calibrate. As a result, editing to a broad gamut is not possible and any edits are likely to not look the same on other devices.
