For the record, Ema works from Android 2.2 onwards, like many apps I’m interested in, but my phone is stuck in 2.1.

For anyone in a similar situation looking for an alternative, I seem to have settled with the SimpleNote solution: Resoph Notes for Windows, and Mnote or Andronoter for Android 2.1 synced via the Simplenotes service. None of these is a true wiki (neither is SimpleNote itself), but Resoph Notes happily recognises [titles in square brackets] as links to notes of the same name. Very handy.
