We tried the idea last year before season, worst idea we ever did. Code can't be merged, it's a pain to make all account sync right, etc. The only advantage is it's cloud storage for having a backup. However, github fixes all of these issues.

As for mobile development, I suggest a netbook. There, $200-ish (Which is the contract price of my phone). And work fine for rapid coding you need to get done / are portable enough. Coding on your phone would probably be harder then a netbook.
