Enyo app Paper Mache (Instapaper client) is on the Android market:

This is a good first shot and ported from webOS to Android in just a few days - mostly dealing with the PhoneGap and android packaging learning curve, and porting native services to PhoneGap plugins.

Its written to the Enyo 1.0 framework that only really targeted the webOS implementation of webkit, so there are some performance issue with sliding and scrolling under Android that didnt appear on the TouchPad.

FYI, I'm the author (http://www.ryanwatkins.net/software/papermache/). Thanks for the plug!

The app is nice, but it runs at something like 3fps (yes, 3) on a Xoom. :(

The scrollers and sliders are glitchy. I think it may be some interaction between the touch events and scrolling specific to the Android webkit implementation when hosted in an app rather than the native browser.

If you switch to "paged" mode rather than scrolling the article the transitions are generally fast when you tap or swipe - atleast with testing on a Nexus S and a TouchPad both running ICS.

I dont think its purely rendering speed, but some odd DOM interactions.
