I started to make an html vector editor. It's a really early prototype 
and maybe it will not work on all platforms:

http://www.khtml.org/osm/v0.79/examples/edit.html

The base map (http://khtml.org) should work on iPad (incl. multitouch) 
but I don't have an iPad and could only test on iPhone.
For vector editing I didn't add touch support but mouse events are 
supported for move nodes.
It uses SVG and on Android it will not work - there is no SVG on Android.

The crosshair idea is really good, but solves only one part of the UI.

The userinterface for Android and iPad/iPhone can't be the same.
Android does not support multitouch.

Maybe someone could draw a userinterface.
